: If columnist Robyn Urback is right, and I don’t doubt for a moment that she is, then we should also pay to provide round-the-clock personal protection for other identified groups of Canadians at risk of physical harm. Indigenous women come to mind immediately.
There are other approaches that might help, such as increasing the severity of punishments for people who attack politicians and Indigenous women. We already punish more severely those who kill policemen; we could extend this to more groups of victims and to less serious crimes.To be profitable, many online media outlets must generate massive engagement: views, likes, shares, comments.
The most reliable way to “go viral” is to trigger emotional responses. Given the immediate and anonymous nature of much online media, the most viral emotion is outrage. The same algorithms that bring together wealthy homeowners with those priced out of the housing market also cross-pollinate social-justice activists with the alt-right; Liberals and Conservatives; carnivores and vegans. The list goes on. The more opposed two groups are in opinion, the more perfect their union in the current game of revenue generation.
Columnist Robyn Urback points to an ever-worsening political climate as the reason taxpayers should pay for security to protect politicians. But how to address what I believe is the root cause of the problem: a media climate in which anger, discord and polarization are part of many business models.
