This evening (5/24) outside #Taiwan’s Legislative Yuan, as opposition parties continue their efforts to pass hugely controversial “reforms.” A multigenerational gathering, including veterans from the 1990s’ Wild Lily Movement. (Photo: Chi Ta Tsai/Facebook).

@michaelturton It looks more like a marketing company. They're part of "影響力傳播" (according to the info on the TPOC webpage). Kind of interesting.

🚨BREAKING: the EU Commission initiates official proceedings against TikTok under the Digital Services Act (DSA). This is what you need to know: ➡️The proceedings focus on TikTok Lite's “Task and Reward Program,” which allows users to earn points while performing certain tasks on TikTok (such as watching videos, liking content, following creators, and inviting friends to join TikTok). ➡️The EU Commission suspects that the TikTok program was launched without a diligent assessment of its risks, especially those related to the platform's addictive effect. ➡️The EU is especially concerned with children, given the suspected absence of effective age verification mechanisms on TikTok. ➡️This is the second series of DSA-related proceedings against TikTok initiated by the EU Commission. The first one was initiated in February and investigates TikTok's lack of effective age verification mechanisms and the suspected addictive design. ➡️TikTok has until April 23 to submit the risk assessment report to the EU Commission and until May 3 to provide the other information requested. If TikTok fails to answer on time, there can be DSA-related fines. ➡️Next week, I'll host a 30-minute lightning lesson on the DSA. It's free and open to all. Register using the link below. ➡️To receive more information on tech policy and regulation, subscribe to my newsletter (link below).

Qualitative researchers: what are common critiques/questions you get in reviews? I created a doc last yr outlining major critiques+responses, but I'm always looking to expand: docs.google.com/document/d/1jH… It already discusses: *quantifying data *IRR *method justification *sample size

Thread: Baltimore Bridge collapse misinformation Pro-Kremlin influencers claim the captain of the Dali ship is a Ukrainian. But online records show a Ukrainian man was the Dali's captain from March to July 2016. The ship that hit the bridge reportedly had an all-Indian crew.

In Jan-Feb 2024, Chinese & Taiwanese media spheres were rife with rumors about a US civil war between the federal & Texas governments. Our latest article explores how actors in Russia, China & Taiwan contributed to the spread and evolution of falsehood. 👁️tfc-taiwan.org.tw/articles/10398

Tiktok, while amusing, is also a national security vulnerability hiding in plain sight-- basically a foreign-owned spyware installed in millions of phones. I think Congress would be right to direct divestiture from Bytedance on pain of app ban (1/4)

The disinformation targeting Chinese audiences aims to incite the anger of the Chinese, portraying the TW government as "cruel" while asserting that Chinese fishermen wanted "justice." It's noteworthy to see how the narrative resonated with the Chinese state media & government.

In the latest #TFCDisinfoDetector piece by @weipingli, we examine 3 themes of disinfo surrounding the Chinese fishing boat capsizing incident. Most false claims were primarily targeted at Chinese audiences & garnered minimal attention in Taiwanese society. tfc-taiwan.org.tw/articles/10355

In Chinese state media's coverage of Navalny's death, he was described as having been jailed for "economic crimes," "establishing community of extremism" and "supporting activists of extremism." Putin and Xi's "no-limits partnership" extends to how to characterize Navalny.

Curious about the media framing of Taiwan's presidential election, I compiled a list of headlines from major English-language outlets published right after Lai's victory. Here's a snapshot.
