A thread on the most important issue it raises: in a world of info warfare, how do you protect platforms outside of big tech?
This is one of the most overlooked manifestations of info ops, these days. https://t.co/10KIr5gAAc

This weekend, we've published a BBC investigation into the possible systematic editing of Wikipedia by the Chinese state. It covers official docs, a trip to Taiwan, and lots of edit counting.

Obviously, given the earlier history of the Chinese Communist Party it is going to turn out that it was state doctored and not "organic". There = no such thing as an army of volunteers who have as their hobby the editing of online articles about everything Chinese & controversial https://t.co/G4LzWrbNDU

In Hong Kong, the mentioning of Taiwan ??, the flag ?? and the news about Taiwan ?? is not banned (yet)
— Jane Manchun Wong (@wongmjane) October 7, 2019
Are you gonna ban ?️? in Hong Kong too because it's banned in China, Apple? Where's your spine?https://t.co/LqqRHw8azi
Serbian and Croatian Wikipedia should be added to this list — the amount of revisionism re WWII & the Yugoslav wars that appears there is appalling. That’s why progressive-minded tech people set up the Serbo-Croatian wiki account, which is the one you should trust re the Balkans. https://t.co/ORY3PtYcT2

중국과 대만의 위키피디어 편집 전쟁. 구글,시리 검색 등이 위키피디어를 참조하면서 중국,대만이 이를 경쟁적으로 변경하며 원래의 설명이 하루도 못넘기고 '중국의 행정구역'으로 변경을 반복. 홍콩 시위도 하루 65번이나 바뀌기도. 집단지성이 정치 논리에 공격받는 상황 https://t.co/7uY3aTzfvC pic.twitter.com/ayQO9nOl0F

“The edit war over #Taiwan was only one of a number that had broken out across Wikipedia's vast, multi-lingual expanse of entries. The #HongKong protests page had seen 65 changes in the space of a day - largely over questions of language.” https://t.co/q9ELaHSXjV

-"A state", they will answer, "in East Asia".
But earlier in September, it would have been a "province in the People's Republic of China".
