disinformation about g0v from a pro-China youtuber
"If you substitute the number zero for the letter o in the urls of government sites ending in dot gov dot tw you will get an alternative site that offers the same services but in a more interactive and user friendly way. What if i told you that this was not actually an initiative created by and for Taiwan but sponsored by the U.S. government for by and for the U.S. government so that it can fully infiltrate and control Taiwan's political system and more specifically by doing it through controlling information."

I'm actually surprised that it can be interpreted this way lol
and the original text is misleading too (what is “the g0v project”???) … a disinformation on a misinformation lol

is there anyone in Taiwan that can check a time stamp for me on Douyin?
I assure you, this is not a phishing attempt! haha
I've been doing some OSINT work on Douyin, and I'm unsure if the time stamp reflects 北京时间 or the local timezone you are accessing the website from
for me, the time stamp says 发布时间：2021-12-02 21:51
is it the same time stamp when accessed from Taiwan?
@canadian_aaron 😅
ah？ nothing shows up when you click via phone?
I reloaded several times
i guess the URL only works via desktop
thanks for trying @chihao
I’ll try again when I get back to my desktop

So the time does change based on the (IP address?) you access it from.

should be expected with these international (???) platforms?
that's what i thought too. But WeChat 公众号 reflect Beijing Time.

but maybe Douyin is a bit more international

《环球时报》记者注意到，在此次采访中，除绿党成员内部纠纷、艰难的政府联盟妥协和气候政策等内政问题外，贝尔伯克重点谈及气候变化领域的国际合作，以及与中国和俄罗斯的关系等外交政策
i think all news websites from China show the Beijing Time instead of what your local time is for your IP address
so, I assume in Taiwan the time also says 2021-12-03 07:08
right?

another tangential thing that douyin and tiktok are not totally separated as advertised?

07:08 yes
yep, totally right on @chihao. thankful for Pellaeon's work at Citizen Lab for that 😄
