@OneTime82085990 I think this really shows that platforms are a way to penetrate a certain market since they are so deeply embedded in countries like China, Japan and Korea. I think the same is true for western countries as businesses keep in touch with their customers primarily through FB.

Here is an interesting article about the integration of the WeChat wallet in Japanese stores, a hot destination for Chinese tourists. This would eliminate the hassle of currency swaps. Any thoughts on the pros and cons ?

@Vincent_WDB @ErikdeJ15269364 @schneiderfa77 @LeidenHum I don't think so. Even now, you can already get traced through your IP address and your internet provider even knows what websites you visit. I believe the government can access this information if it has good grounds (i.e. for criminal investigations).

@schneiderfa77 To be honest, I think it's easier to broadcast such hate in chat-apps, precisely because you are sharing in a closed, private sphere. Such messages probably receive lots of backlash on a public platform.

@Vincent_WDB @schneiderfa77 @LeidenHum It all depends on the site's terms. In the case of China, it is widely known that you are being scrutinised by the government. However, as we all know, Facebook isn't an angel when it comes to guarding user's privacy either. However, it does pretend to care about your privacy.

@schneiderfa77 I think what makes digital tech so innovative is that it offers the opportunity for everyone to participate in the economy. Historically this has been reserved for the well-off who owns material and capital resources, but now anyone can join the game. #DigitalEastAsia

@AsiaJoost @VPrevoo @Vincent_WDB @Julised1 @schneiderfa77 I think the line is drawn when you have to dedicate your full attention and resources to digital commerce. I know crafters who sell their creations online as a 'hobby', but they do it on their own terms and dictate their own pace. #DigitalEastAsia

@VPrevoo @Vincent_WDB @Julised1 @schneiderfa77 I consider that an equivalent exchange, because the blogger gets compensation in goods for their 'labor' aka advertising for the companies. But I think that is blurring the line between work and leisure, because these blogs often about a hobby/passion . #DigitalEastAsia

Motivational tuesdays: If you don't like it, don't complain about it. Just don't do it! #DigitalEastAsia #frikkinhashtags

@Vincent_WDB I also think it is possible to draw a line for yourself if you really wanted to. Some people have phones specifically for work contacts. But I guess there's also the rising trend that employers kind of expect you to be reachable 24/7. #DigitalEastAsia

@schneiderfa77 Streaming services have been repeated criticised by artists as exploitative as Spotify for example only pays 0.007 USD per stream. On the other hand, streaming services were made in response to digital piracy, so in that light it might have actually promoted the 'buying' of music
