Online has been as important a battleground in the protests as any other it has helped galvanize the dissent but it has also become increasingly possible for the Chinese Government to use Technology Online to work against and suppress the protests. Earlier today my colleague kris kobach spoke to order tang the digital minister in taiwan a democratic island with its own words about beijing. How she viewed the situation in hong kong. I think in taiwan where were looking at hong kong were seeing the beginning of a new way of demonstration for liberal democracies that are what they called be water or a Leaderless Movement you know our own some foreign movement which i participated where we occupied the parliament for 21 days speck in 2014 we started this way of coronating a Leaderless Movement by the time it was more like 20 leaders in hong kong is now like 2000 leaders. You started writing computer code when you were a kid youve been active as a hacker now you are the digital minister of taiwan and youve called for a reinvention of democracy hows that supposed to look like and how do you view your own role in it. As additional minister my workspace is totally radically transparent all of the meetings that i chair the full transcript can be found on the internet its entirely published and by radically trusting people and making the state and how the state works transparent to the people everybody can understand not only the why of policy but also the why of policy making the context of policy making and this is as opposed to other jurisdiction which makes the system transparent to the state. But is there more to it when it comes to digital reinvention of democracy than just providing a bunch of papers for that matter into how and what were doing is were bringing technologies to where people are instead of asking people to come to technology and so we have universal broadband as a human right anywhere in taiwan even on the top of the mountain if you send 4000 meters you have to make a bit per 2nd and if you dont its my fault and everybody can be press you tube or everybody can just voice your opinions and that is the foundation of liberal democracy because if universal brabant as a human right were also opening up the entire participatory budget persecutor regulation of the on a single perspiration platform called joined the g. O. P. Dead t w it has more than 10000000 active users out of 23000000 active evidence into one Big Companies have played a questionable role in recent times when it comes to democracies serving as platforms where fake news can be spread or where voters can be influenced how do you view their role in the future. 1st of all just like in the additional counter spawn issue 20 years ago we need to establish a nor where people can very easily voluntarily participate in effect Checking Community and this is what a large platform has done but more importantly in each of our ministries tours that seem a bit least 5 people that can rule out funny memetic engineer jokes clarifications one hour after each this information gets spread so that when people look at this clarification this is just so they would think of something thats funny and instead of turning anger into outrage it will become something that people can more act in a president ial manner and this is way that we dont take down anything by the journalist our ministers words are not hired in a journalists words but we contribute into Fact Checking out journalism by providing real time clarifications very quickly and also a very funny way to order time theyre speaking to my colleague was of course. Pickup trucks have high Profit Margins now electric car maker tesla has entered the market with its socalled side of the truck it is supposed to celebrate faster than a porsche 911 according to Company Found in on us the truck also features on the breakable safety glass well which turned out to be not quite so on breakable futuristic eagle comes with a prize type of 40000. 00 but tesla says might take years until it goes on sale. So will this truck ever hit the roads a question id like to ask peter finntroll hes a director of technology and innovation at Engineering Consulting firm ultron peter is there really a market for this cyber truck. Yes good afternoon yes that clearly is a market for electric because trucks you know in the u. S. Alone every year around 2900000 of such become trucks are sold so this is interesting for comment a fixture us. Car at self tesla type of truck it has a very controversial styling if you look at the Market Leader cindy s. From forward to General Motors and doj they have a very mescaline aggressive styling so this is the key to sell success and i was saying to tesla had put to death to the climax in producing a vehicle dead groups just a right coming from a dystopian movie set. Terminator doesnt know how important it is. To diversify into that. This lead eats it needs economies of scale and needs to needs to ramp up their production figures and looking at the sheer size off the truck market in the u. S. But globally its around 5000000. 00 vehicles and also to profit in march instead can be generated in there in that because segment this is a relevant market for tesla to where we saw. That went completely wrong this. Actually broke how damaging is that. Certainly at that at such an important product show you want every scene to go smoothly but consider it. A truck event itself that takes all takes styling and all the fuss generated around it that the unpredictable glass was not so on breakup lets think that some might not be said and people are understand that this is a prototype vehicle its minimum 2 years away from products that that will be ironed out this is no comparison to the famous. Or the sometimes tricky to handle body t t 1st generation so it was not in customers hands time will pass and there will be no less to back it off that for tesla.
