Taiwan has been able to effectively respond to Chinese disinformation in part because of how seriously the threat is perceived there, according to Kenton Thibaut, a senior resident fellow and expert on Chinese disinformation at the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab. Instead of a piecemeal approach — focusing solely on media literacy, for instance, or relying only on the government to fact-check false rumors — Taiwan adopted a multifaceted approach, what Thibaut called a “whole of society response” that relied on government, independent fact-check groups and even private citizens to call out disinformation and propaganda.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Alexander Tah-Ray Yui, Taipei’s economic and cultural representative to the U.S., said the government has learned it must identify and debunk false information as quickly as possible in order to counter false narratives. Yui is Taiwan’s de facto ambassador to the U.S.
“Find it early, like a tumor or cancer. Cut it before it spreads,” Yui said of foreign disinformation.
lol. This is one way to say they arrested journalists and banned media coverage.
It’s always projection with these fascist tankies
To them anything that goes against the CCP is evil, ruzzia and the CCP can do no wrong in their eyes.
The CCP is evil and so is Russia.
So is censoring people during an election.
I’m not a ‘tankie’, I’m pretty sure I’m banned from those grad and bear instances.
What I am is not American, so I don’t have a vested interest in the sports-team-politics at play here.
How is being American have anything to do with Taiwans elections?
i think hes referring to the strawman of “ccp and russia cant be criticized by the left” or “ccp bad us good” tropes
those are opposite ideologies
that is assuming you mean tankie = ml communism
Where do you see anything about arresting journalists or banning media coverage?
