Provinces after Police Detained some. Culpable is the indonesian government for the right. Welcome to. Its good to have you with us now images such as these ones behind me out of trigger in the battle for hearts and minds in hong kong and across the border on the chinese mainland depending on how you look at it its either a struggle for democracy or a dangerous riot that battle of perception is also being waged online as social media giants twitter and facebook have revealed that the Chinese Government isnt fighting fair. Posts such as these on social media. Groups and individuals in the prodemocracy movement. Has also spent over 200000 accounts and plans to ban advertisement from state run media facebook has also taken action it has also closed a number of accounts we also correspondent in hong kong if the chinese propaganda is having any effect on the protest movement the. Propaganda. On sunday is that these protests still can gather an enormous crowd they still do have broad support here with say 1700000 people on the streets and one of the really. Defining features of this protest movement is just how inventive these protesters are how creative they are to try and counter the narrative to keep momentum going weve seen them. On the streets night after night weve seen that they plan different ways of protesting that remain as peaceful as possible that big fear of course is that any image of protesters behaving by and i will go around the world on social media they need to show that this is as calm as possible. I didnt lose a germ is here with me in the studio for more on the story journey welcome so what kind. Of this distance from mission been the sort of drew so the facebook and twitter accounts that were taken by originate in china and they appear to be amplifying messages and images that portray hong kong. Folland and extreme yes i mean we can see that post of by the chinese link accounts one of them says. I asked fighters whats the difference and theres another post thats written in english its very notable because this since said many of these campaigns theyre targeting global audience and there are actually a lot of promoted tweets on twitter at portraying the same messages of the hong kong protests as this well and this they have been flecked by the social media blocking sites pinball and even one to it it says every day i go out and see stuff with my own eyes and then i go to report it on twitter and see promoted tweets saying the opposite of what i saw it is taking money from chinese propaganda outfits and running these promoted tweets against a top hong kong protest techs. Are going to do exactly done. All of this so facebook said eliminate to 7 pages 3 facebook groups and 5 accounts involved in the campaign and the 2 to also said that it deleted 936 accounts and in the press release is also said it would bend state backed media from from oh think tweets after they placed ads suggesting the protests were sponsored by western interests and were becoming violent. So even though many of these polls that were seeing they were not necessarily fake news but instead they are really focusing on the father of the protests and they never talk about the root the muscles of protests and so this social media platforms they have to make clear that they dont want to be part of any governments Propaganda Campaign were talking about facebook and twitter and as far as far as my understanding goes these are banned in china you cant really access them in china right facebook and twitter officially blocked inside china and so people there instead they would use their own social media surfaces like we chat oh wait all. The content on these social media platforms theyre actually very tight control but then in hong kong and facebook they have freely access is bold and facebook and twitter activities by the Chinese Government shows really shows that beijing is china is trying to change the narrative on the internet showing media i just have to austria i mean i know that youre sort of order is really from hong kong and hong kong has enjoyed a fair degree also of freedom not seen on the chinese mainland do these start to a trip to work would say people dont go. Home call people are they actually very sensitive to any social media polls or media reports by the state media and they really dont listen to any of these kind of opinions and what they do is instead to lots of bodett to make fun of it really wouldnt change any opening in some on hong kong protests so they know where the truth lies gerry journ thank you very much for coming into the studio and break that down for us.
