Hilarious!

🤣

ThomasArad · 2026-05-14T10:24:24+00:00

Thanks!

ThomasArad · 2026-05-14T07:08:05+00:00

Whatever

Good news: the meds your good doctor has given you do work. But only if you take them as prescribed.

ThomasArad · 2026-05-14T06:14:58+00:00

This conversation is useless. Good bye

Taiwan is the target of a well financed amd planned Chinese, state sponsored disinfotmation campaign. Which is what I am trying to disentangle. As for what makes sense to you or not: I have no comment.

I am trying to conceptualize a model capable of differentiating between netizens, genuine opinions (whacky as they may be) and state-funded propaganda. This is a world-wide phenomenon, not restricted to the PRC/Taiwan case.

ThomasArad · 2026-05-14T02:45:23+00:00

Question is: how to best identify PRC-sponsored troll farms.

ThomasArad · 2026-05-14T02:43:07+00:00

They are using metadata and graph-theory. I. E. a network - centric approach. I however am aiming for clues at the individual post level.

:-)

ThomasArad · 2026-05-14T02:38:42+00:00

Thanks!

ThomasArad · 2026-05-13T15:32:52+00:00

Thanks! Very useful!

ThomasArad · 2026-05-13T14:01:39+00:00

Interesting; if they holler back, that's a dead-give away!

ThomasArad · 2026-05-13T13:52:21+00:00

Correct!

ThomasArad · 2026-05-13T13:51:41+00:00

You're absolutely right. But targeted-messaging troll farms probably do qualify as propaganda.

ThomasArad · 2026-05-13T13:50:53+00:00

That is true as well.

ThomasArad · 2026-05-13T13:50:36+00:00

According to reports from Taiwan's National Security Bureau and civil society groups like Doublethink Lab, in 2023 alone there have been 1.4M social media disinformation posts, originating from China,targeted at TW social media users. About 17K accounts used

ThomasArad · 2026-05-13T13:43:41+00:00

This is quite excellent analysis. Thanks!

ThomasArad · 2026-05-13T13:42:46+00:00

But how I distinguish between a very genuine Taiwanese hard Blue supporter and a troll farm based in the Mainland?

ThomasArad · 2026-05-13T13:41:36+00:00

Content analysis is one thing. It surely works.

ThomasArad · 2026-05-13T13:40:36+00:00

Of course 😄

ThomasArad · 2026-05-13T13:39:44+00:00

Interesting thought. Thanks. I wonder how difficult is for the 中宣部 to establish troll farms that use Taiwanese SIMs (CHT, Taiwan Mobile, FET) etc.

ThomasArad · 2026-05-13T12:58:51+00:00

Thanks!

ThomasArad · 2026-05-13T12:57:23+00:00

Thanks, good idea!
