Genuine concern about how the CBC is conducting their business, as they're paying for a third party to target people who are rightfully critical of their journalism, where it matters.

We will NOT be taking down this community member's post. There is no unauthorized use of trademark here in this empty threat. Period the end.

ZeroFOX can email us with threats to kingdom come, and we've had many.

@chad@mstdn.ca I'm thinking that the letters are being generated by a DRM seeking bot with little human oversight.

@samloonie@mstdn.ca it's human generated - the screenshot attached to a previous email showed they were using google chrome and the find feature to look for the term "CBC".

@Dianora@ottawa.place @samloonie@mstdn.ca screenshot censoring the impacted community members and federated members participating in the conversation in question. You can tell these folks are farming for bullshit.

This Wikipedia entry concerning ZeroFox controversies is interesting:

“ZeroFox signed a $14 million social media intelligence contract with the FBI on Dec 30, 2020, taking over from Dataminr, which held the contract until Dec. 31, 2020. This transition period led to decreased visibility leading up to the 2021 United States Capitol attack, and led agents to calling it an expletive sounding similar to ZeroFox.”
