"Watch out" is a freelance NGO of young journalists in Taiwan; who work to exposed fake news and guide the public into True News.. They examined the politician's statements in real time, and advise the public on how it is true or false.. This had made great difference in the political life and intellectuality in this tiny island state.. Can we have similar activities in our Fake States..?
"احترس" هي منظمة غير حكومية مستقلة من الصحفيين الشباب في تايوان ، الذين يعملون على كشف الأخبار الكاذبة وتوجيه الجمهور إلى أخبار حقيقية .. حيث يقامون بفحص تصريحات السياسين في الوقت الفعلي ، وتقديم المشورة للجمهور حول مدى صحتها أو خطأها. لقد أحدثت فرقا كبيرا في الحياة السياسية والفكرية في هذه الدولة الجزيرة الصغيرة .. هل يمكن أن تكون لنا أنشطة مماثلة في دولنا المزيفة ..؟


Taiwan's Battle with Fake News

In January of 2020, the Taiwanese presidential election was held for the first time in 4 years. With the constant media coverage of the event both on television and the internet, Taiwan faced a new threat not seen in years past: the misinformation known as "fake news." Due to the high use of social media in Taiwan, false information can spread before anyone has a chance to disprove it, influencing the opinions of voters. To counteract this effect, groups of checkers now work swiftly to verify information as it airs, utilizing technology to protect Taiwan's journalistic integrity and discredit fake news.
