Man charged with spreading hate on social media
A Winnipeg man has been arrested and charged with four counts of willful promotion of hatred.
RCMP said Wednesday that a person posted rhetoric targeting the Jewish, Muslim and LGBTTQ+ communities, as well as visible minorities, on the social-media platform X.
Police investigated to identify the user of the account. Investigators linked the person to other online accounts used to post similar rhetoric, RCMP said in a news release Wednesday.
Donovan MacKenzie Ballingall, 23, was arrested April 29. He remains in custody at the Winnipeg Remand Centre, RCMP said.
Ballingall has no criminal convictions in Manitoba.
