@Luis54127549 @LeeYuanting Good point! On top of that, there are already many complaints about the behavior of Chinese tourists. Changing the mechanics of other nations to accommodate Chinese tourists specifically only encourages their rude behavior. But I guess money trumps all #DigitalEastAsia

@ErikdeJ15269364 @Vincent_WDB @schneiderfa77 @LeidenHum Not only would you lose your online outlet to be yourself but you would also effectively be signing your own arrest warrant and expose yourself to more harassment. (2/2) #DigitalEastAsia

@ErikdeJ15269364 @Vincent_WDB @schneiderfa77 @LeidenHum Moreover, as was mentioned in class a couple of weeks ago, for some people the main appeal towards certain platforms is the anonymity. Suppose you are gay in a country that has laws against being gay. You'd think twice about going online ever again (1/2)

@carwyn @GoldinLucrezia @ErikdeJ15269364 @Vincent_WDB @schneiderfa77 Thats a fair point, non-members cannot simply stumble onto the contents of WeChat groups. However the main problem is that people tend to get comfortable when they do something more often. Say they spew hate in such a group, whats to stop them from doing it IRL? #DigitalEastAsia

@LeeYuanting @Vincent_WDB @ErikdeJ15269364 @schneiderfa77 @LeidenHum Furthermore, I don't think the average internet consumer benefits that much from this real name registration system. The fact that I know that Kittylover600 is actually John Realname doesn't help me determining his personality or whether he is lying or not. #DigitalEastAsia

@schneiderfa77 The notion that narrow-casting would stop toxic behavior seems ridiculous to me. If I were racist and I was in a group chat with my racist friends I would only feel more comfortable spewing racist ideology exactly because I know everyone! #DigitalEastAsia

@Vincent_WDB @GoldinLucrezia reason for the decrease in usage seems inconsistent with what we know of the general reaction to censorship. That its simply part of going online. Also people have been finding ways of getting around censorship for a while, so what would have changed now? #DigitalEastAsia (3/3)

[Yu Kai Tan @YuKaiTan1]

@Vincent_WDB @GoldinLucrezia In recent years WeChat has become increasingly necessary partly due to its Wallet-integration features that have become ever more prominent in Chinese society. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that people are jumping ship. Furthermore, taking censorship as its primary (2/3)

So clearly it is a work-app. In fact, as seen in this article, the app wasn't designed for all its users but for the employers. The more immediate question we should ask ourselves is if this app is giving the employers too much power? #DigitalEastAsia https://t.co/ey6zhUChn6

I don't think DingDing inherently changes the nature of labor&leisure. Even though other apps like Whatsapp or WeChat, are also widely used in the work space to coordinate schedules and projects. Looking at it's applications DingDing is clearly made with the office space in mind.

Starting now, our @UniLeiden grad students are having a Twitter debate ab/ the changing nature of labour & leisure in #DigitalEastAsia. Here's a @WhatsOnWeibo article to get us started, on how the app Ding Ding is transforming white-collar work in #China. https://t.co/cOjt5BWFED

@ErikdeJ15269364 @Vincent_WDB @OneTime82085990 @Julised1 @schneiderfa77 You're right! It is vague. Though maybe we are looking at this from the wrong side? Instead of looking at the definition of work we should look at the definition of fun. Maybe activities stop being fun and become work the moment you suffer consequences when you don't do it?

@VPrevoo @Vincent_WDB @Julised1 @schneiderfa77 I consider receiving free clothes and accessories for advertisement as a #sponsorship The blogger may not be paid in money but is still getting paid in goods regardless he/she is still rewarded for their labor. No exploitation here. #DigitalEastAsia

@ErikdeJ15269364 @Vincent_WDB @Luis54127549 @Mattemingda @GoldinLucrezia @OneTime82085990 @Julised1 @schneiderfa77 Well they expect you to do the same work as other employers without getting paid. I think that qualifies as #exploitation #DigitalEastAsia

[Yu Kai Tan @YuKaiTan1]

@Vincent_WDB @Julised1 @schneiderfa77 I think the line isn't as just being paid or not. Beginning journalists and writers oftentimes start writing for websites for exposure - AKA they don't get paid but they put their name out there. They are integral to the website and expect a pay off at some point #DigitalEastAsia
