Thank you.
Incredibly informative.
We really appreciate your time.
Anything else? I think that’s all we have for you.
Okay. Yeah, the blocking capability. Fascinating.
Okay. Specifically…
So, I guess I would just, I wonder if everything we’ve talked about here that you’ve mentioned that MoDA is doing right now, does it meet the demands of those actors?
And I think most of those people that we’ve talked to think that government has to play a role in that. There’s some disagreement about what that role needs to be. Free speech comes up in this, and what we’ve talked about.
Okay.
Right.
But in addition to that, everyone seems to think that there’s additional work to be done.
But then, so then we came here, and we heard that story again by talking to various stakeholders within the ecosystem that are actually doing that stuff.
Right. So, quite an achievement. And I think there’s rankings out there that put it, you know, Taiwan’s resilience at like 9 out of 10.
So, before we came, and really the reason why we came here is because Taiwan is often portrayed as kind of a model of resilience.
I guess I have a big picture question.
Yeah.
Exactly.
But if they’re upstream, there’s an actor involved that is, you know, China, or another foreign adversary, how do we get at that activity? Like, is there, how do we, especially when it’s very difficult to make the connection?
This, the fraud, Anti-Fraud Act, probably wouldn’t apply there, right?
Right, so if people are engaging in what appears to be just political speech, free speech, right?
But like you said at the top, the majority, you said, of activity is just meant to effectively polarize people, and it’s not necessarily false, right?
Because that’s deceptive.
So I think a lot of what we’ve been talking about is behavior, especially like the Anti-Fraud Act is going to be able to go after behavior, right?
And this is just something you’re programming in your free time?
And where would you say that technology… that sounds like a very…I mean, that’s a breakthrough technology, right?
Okay. That’s very interesting. Did you have a question?
Including Meta for…
Okay. And the social media platforms are…
Okay. So you’re confident that just getting a digital signature on their activity will enable existing laws to be more effective.
Yes.
The text records.
They have to sign it, right. So that identifies who the influencer is, but not necessarily who’s paying for them, right? Which is still a separate problem.
Can I follow up on this? So if an influencer pays for a boost on a social media platform to be algorithmically sent…
Okay, great. Cool.
How’s your day?
How are you?
Yeah, for balance, yeah.
Hi, I’m Elliot, nice to meet you.
