We the @gvssafrica Sub Saharan African team send our love and best wishes to the @globalvoices South East Asia team who are currently hosting a Citizen Summit in Taepei. 💕💖
Panelist Hyekyeong Kim: During 2016–17 South Korean protests, citizen media like @OhmyNews_Korea produced 80% of coverage, not traditional media, which became discredited. "Every citizen is a reporter." OhMyNews now has 80,000 citizen contributors. #GVAPSummit2019
Major Problems @ Hand: identifying original perpetrator; conflict within law enforcement agencies; fundamental human rights; virality; justice for victims; indirect effect on dissent; offline violence; powerful state machinery; impunity @globalvoices#GVapsummit2019@DEFindia
Panelist @prasanthtweets "The problem is that governments always want to be in control." E.g., Germany, India, Australia have all passed information on terrorism and misinformation, but it is the citizen that gets surveilled. #GVAPSummit2019
"I've had to post bail eight times the past few weeks, and been arrested twice", says @mariaressa, highlighting how the team at @rapplerdotcom are among the many women in the Philippines standing up for human rights, holding power to account. #WINSummit19#WNMC19
Next up, a panel discussion featuring: Hyekyeong Kim, journalist (South Korea), Thant Sin, Global Voices (Myanmar), Hong-Wen Tseng, Green Citizens’ Action Alliance (Taiwan), Prasanth Sugathan, Software Freedom Law Center (India) #GVAPSummit2019
