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 wouldn't reply to zero fox, but I'd inquire with the CBC whether they're aware someone claiming to represent them is committing obvious fraud.

@dragonfrog@mastodon.sdf.org @chad@mstdn.ca Yeah, I would not assume that this is legitimately representing the CBC without confirmation. It could be: there has been an issue with fake CBC stories being used for pushing scams on social media, so I could see them contracting a 3rd party to try to take fraudulent posts down.

But that post is not pretending to be anything other than discussion of the CBC's reporting. It is certainly not a trademark issue. If the CBC is paying a company that is just searching for "CBC" & sending form emails, they should know. If the company is using their name in another type of fraud scheme, they should know.
