This would be a good time to wait and let security professionals analyze the documents and take what you read in this article lightly, as I've found a number of sensationalist examples.

For example, they claim Canada is monitoring hockey sites:

> Canada's Communications Security Establishment (CSEC) even monitors sites devoted to the country's national pastime: "We have noticed a large increase in chat activity on the hockeytalk sites. This is likely due to the beginning of playoff season," it says in one presentation.

But if you look at the actual slide https://i.imgur.com/2GO8H6L.png, it is clearly a fake sample report of what a real one might look like. It even uses the name 'Canukistan' as the country name.

There are 44 slide decks, one of the biggest leaks so far. It will take time to make sense of the noise. And any misinformation from reporting by non-technical journalists doesn't help the cause.

If I didn't know that the government is manipulating social media all the time, I totally would not think you're a shill trying to discredit these news reports by claiming that Jake Appelbaum is a non-technical journalist.

So what you're saying is that Canada really is monitoring hockey fans in Canukistan?
