Many people close to him were getting swept up in the hysteria, so Rob started publishing posts on various social media platforms to help those in his networks better understand what was actually going on.Focused on verifiable government data and logic, Rob's posts in April 2020 would start to go viral and then disappear.That is when he decided to launch BIG Media Ltd. (BIG-Media.ca).
