Taiwan's digital minister on combatting disinformation without censorship
Tang speaks of propaganda and disinformation and how historic propaganda by the government is more or less indistinguishable from disinformation at least by a significant segment of the population.<p>...But she says that to combat disinformation campaigns the government ministries are in charge of pre-empting disinformation by disseminating their version of information...<p>But that seems like a contradiction.  Government was a source of misinformation in the past, but now is the source of truth (as in the past).  How is that reconciled?  How does one know when the government is being truthful versus being propagandists?<p>Now, I get that the PRC has definite identifiable goals so it might be easier to suss out here, but what about other areas?
