Well, around ten years ago, both sides of the Taiwan Strait looked at the same phenomena: recommendation engines, parasitic AI that drives engagement through enragement. But we came to very different conclusions. Taiwan, as I mentioned, focused on making the state transparent to the people so we can build common knowledge from this “uncommon ground” to build digital democracy and broad listening. The Beijing regime instead spent a lot of money on what’s called “harmonization” (wéiwěn, or “stability maintenance”) and gradually decimated journalistic freedom, freedom of expression, and association online. They decimated these civic muscles so that they became very good, I guess, at making the citizen transparent to the state, instead of the state transparent to the citizen.
