  • Online Dialogue and Interaction Disruption. a Latin American Government’S Use of Twitter Affordances to Dissolve Online Criticism
    Online Dialogue and Interaction Disruption. A Latin American Government’s Use of Twitter Affordances to Dissolve Online Criticism Dialogo en línea e interacciones interrumpidas. El uso que un gobierno Latinoamericano hace de las posibilidades tecnológicas de Twitter para disolver críticas en línea Carlos Davalos University of Wisconsin-Madison Orcid http://orcid.org/0000-0001-6846-1661 [email protected] Abstract: Few academic studies have focused on how Latin American governments operate online. Political communica- tion studies focused on social media interactions have overwhelmingly dedicated efforts to understand how regular citizens interact and behave online. Through the analysis of hashtags and other online strategies that were used during Mexican Pres- ident Enrique Peña Nieto’s (EPN) term to critique or manifest unconformity regarding part of the government’s performance, this study observes how members of a Latin American democratic regime weaponized a social media platform to dissipate criticism. More specifically, it proposes that the manipulation of social media affordances can debilitate essential democratic attributes like freedom of expression. Using a qualitative approach, consisting of observation, textual analysis, and online eth- nography, findings show that some Mexican government’s manipulation of inconvenient Twitter conversations could impact or even disrupt potential offline crises. Another objective of the presented research is to set a baseline for future efforts focused on how Latin American democratic regimes behave and generate digital communication on social media platforms. Keywords: Mexico, citizens, government, social media, disruption, social capital, affordances, weaponization, Twitter, online, criticisms Resumen: Son pocos los proyectos académicos dirigidos a entender la forma en que gobiernos Latinoamericanos operan en línea/Internet.

  • 7 Mar 2018 Submission: Fake News
    Written Representation 144 Name: Nicholas Fang Managing Director, Black Dot Pte Ltd Received: 7 Mar 2018 Submission: Fake News - A National Security Concern and What Needs To Be Done to Address It 1. Introduction 2. The Critical Dangers 3. Possible Solutions 4. Conclusion 1. Introduction There have been numerous efforts from governments, academia and industry around the world to address the challenges and threats posed by the phenomenon that has come to be known as fake news, but with little in the way of conclusive and definitive solutions or answers. This submission aims to raise ideas and suggestions from the perspective of journalism and the communications sector, to address some of the unique circumstances and challenges facing Singapore and Singaporeans in this era of fake news. Information is a powerful tool that is essential to the effective functioning of a democratic society. It permeates all aspects of society and leaves its mark on tangible and intangible aspects, including public policy, financial markets, societal perceptions, attitudes, mores, values and behaviour of individuals. Information can be used positively to educate, influence and persuade, or for more nefarious purposes. As a long-time journalist , first with The Straits Times for nine years and then six years at Mediacorp as a senior editor overseeing teams of reporters and other editors, the power of information as conveyed through different media platforms was deeply ingrained in me and indeed all of us practitioners of the trade from the first day on the job. Accuracy was paramount, and context and background essential to ensure the value of the information was fully understood.
