The Chinese government posts about 488 million propaganda messages on social media each year
The Chinese government posts about 488 million propaganda messages on social media each year That's about the same number of total messages posted on Twitter by all users combined. Three scholars ran the first systematic study of China’s 50-cent-army (online propaganda workers), which posts tirelessly to paint a positive image of the Chinese government and Chinese Communist Party. The big shocker in this report is that instead of using mostly freelance propagandists, as previously believed, the Chinese government has got workers at Chinese government agencies posting many of the messages. They also found a lot of coordination and control of the posts, representing government information campaigns. About one of every 178 social media posts on China’s microblogs is government propaganda presented as an ordinary citizen's opinion. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-05-19/china-seen-faking-488-million-internet-posts-to-divert-criticism http://www.eweek.com/cloud/how-china...
Incident Report: Critical Network Infrastructure incident this morning in our house.
Incident Report: Critical Network Infrastructure incident this morning in our house. Ref previous update: #MacGyver solution for router https://plus.google.com/+SteveAdams0/posts/XGG6qsJV1G7 Today a critical infrastructure component failed unexpectedly with dramatic consequences for Internet/WiFi provision in the house. Our engineering team responded rapidly to diagnose the problem and effect a fix. Causes: Said component (elastic band) had snapped (se photo) causing the #MacGyver solution cork to become displaced and rendering the router void of a power source. Solution: A replacement lacky-band was quickly retrieved from the emergency lacky-band-stash and applied to the cork/router. Once power was re-established Internet/WiFi provision was quickly re-enabled and a full service has been offered since that time..
