 TOC Asia 被认证为假消息源网址

其他的网址就是真消息吗?


新加坡政府已经确认、认证The Online Citizen Asia

为假消息源。因此,和这个网址有关联的社交媒体,都被认定为假消息源。


这很可能是世界上第一个被国家政府认证的假消息网址。有些国家通过禁止进入,限制在国内阅读,或者,其他方法不让不受欢迎的网址进入。这样做的缺点是,读者还是可以翻墙进入。防不胜防。


新加坡的做法比较特别,政府认定网址为假消息,读者可以自行决定,假在哪里,真在哪里。无限遐想空间,可以往好处,也可以往坏处想。或许,还可能造成寻根究底的习惯,真假如何定义,如何确认。


就如胡适说的:大胆假设,小心求证。


TOC Asia 没有被完全封杀,读者还是可以上网阅读。只是,读者事先被通知这是一个假消息源。


在社交媒体不断创新,不断有新的附件App出现的当下,认证一个网址为假消息源,是否是有效的措施,见仁见智?


最可怕的问题,读者会误认其他的网址没有问题,甚至色情、八卦新闻,也是真消息。这一来,真的是得不偿失。

Sub-standard PAP and the Singapore education system

I make a 'policy shift' when I hear the debate of right politics, constructive politics and sub-standard opposition.

The discussion will end with a sub-standard PAP, in particular from the assessment of the quality of PAP potential candidates. Another policy shift is to discuss it like a play, a drama and make it more entertainment rather than a sub-standard political discussion. Act 1 Gangster’s demand Imagine a sense in the Hong Kong's gangster movie (or a godfather movie), the gangsters' master is shouting at his poor opponent and demand him to give a price for his wrong act. The poor guy without any resources can only offer his body or his service to work for the master. Back in his own chamber, the master is still not satisfied and continues to shout 'don't play, play, you think you are hero, you think you are tiger, or superstar or acting

After 60 years, after 3 failed political imaginations, the PAP is deteriorating...

EBRC objectives: Stop “Out of Aljunied”, Stop SDP Breakthrough and “Negative-Asset” Ministers.

First of all, we have to congratulate the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee for creating more competitions, especially, multi-cornered competitions in the East. When making changes, EBRC aims to achieve 3 goals: To prevent “Out of Aljunied” for Workers’ Party.  This is the most important objective. To prevent Singapore Democratic Party making any breakthrough in the North and Central.   To look for a solution to retire “negative-asset” ministers or reduce PAP damages. From the reported claims from different political parties, we will expect multi-cornered contests not only in single constituencies but also in group representative constituencies. The PAP hopes to have a repeat of 2011 Presidential Election. Then Tony Tan won the Presidency when he got only 35% of the votes, a narrow win.However, a win is still a win. He did in even in the very last minute, after recounts of votes.    How to achieve multi-cornered contests? By inserting a single c
