The "Illusion of Openness": In this interview, as part of our “Mitigating internet censorship” course, Patrick Boehler, the head of digital strategy at Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty warned against the “illusion of openness” that occurs when governments block individual websites. "As a user, you see that the rest of the internet may still be accessible, and you feel like you're seeing the totality of information that is relevant to you or the totality of information that you need. And targeted censorship removes individual publishers from that debate and risks dramatically distorting it." he says. Boehler also emphasised the need to build strong relations with the audience and continuously educate the community on tools and strategies to circumvent censorship. "What we also do is we do callouts inviting audience members to ask us questions. So if they have questions, they can write to us on whatever platform is still accessible. And we look through these questions and try to answer them -- the most frequent questions they may have." he says.

Back in 2018, six years ago, we wrote this report to caution you that FREE SPEECH IS ON LIFE SUPPORT The era of free and unfettered speech on the Internet is rapidly ending. All over the world, national governments are working closely with social media companies to take control of “Internet News.” Now that these elite have seen the power that Internet News can have, they are cracking down hard. https://lnkd.in/gDTMuRCU

I had the privilege this morning to moderate an excellent panel of Taiwan-based information operations specialists at the National Press Club in Washington, DC examining foreign interference and information manipulation in Taiwan's 2024 elections. The civil society and government analysts represented on the panel operate on the frontlines of the daily battles fought against China's hybrid warfare in the information space. The press briefing this morning offers a review of the tactics, techniques, and procedures in information manipulation observed in Taiwan's 2024 election cycle, but more importantly, it is a harbinger of what's likely to come for other democracies that face similar threats from foreign malign influence in 2024 and beyond. With an axis of authoritarian powers emerging that are not only learning from one another but also increasingly coordinating their information operations, like-minded democracies must also work more closely together to leverage each other's technological know-how and forge a common narrative against Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and authoritarian political warfare. As the presentations make clear, CCP's objectives with its information manipulation strategy in Taiwan are to undermine the target's social and political cohesion and also, as it relates to the United States, attenuate its partnership and alliances by amplifying the perception of the United States as an unreliable partner. These objectives are not unique to the Taiwan case and are observable across numerous case studies, especially among key US allies and partners. As such, Taiwan's experience in the 2024 elections provides a vital example for other democracies to closely examine and learn from.
