Taiwan Artificial Intelligence Laboratory founder Du Yijin said, if you can’t see the problem of “social media hegemony”, “digital totalitarianism” will become your problem in the future, and he called on aspiring people to participate in the “ptt.ai” project.

The global social media giants have used their hegemony to censor speech in the U.S. election, and their exclusive monopoly has become a “social beast”. The founder of the “batch kick” (ptt.cc) station, Taiwan AI Labs (Taiwan AI Labs) founder Du Yijin said on Facebook on the 9th, “If you do not see this problem, the future of digital totalitarianism will also be your problem “.
Eugene Du also said that he would launch the “ptt.ai” plan manifesto, hoping to use blockchain to try to solve the global data oligopoly/monopoly problem, implement “data justice”, “decentralized social platform” plan (http://ptt.ai ).

On January 6, the joint session of the U.S. Congress certified the election results, patriots gathered on Capitol Hill, and a retired female soldier was shot dead by police at close range when she broke into Congress; subsequently, Trump spoke on social media and asked people to leave peacefully.
However, not long after these two postings, Twitter deleted Trump’s account with 88 million tracks.
In response, Du Yijin said, only because of dissatisfaction with Congress and the court did nothing about election fraud, the people rallied because of patriotism. The unarmed people were killed by the police when they broke into the Congress, but the mainstream media and social media across the United States have branded the current president of the country as a terrorist.
The Twitter account of the incumbent President Trump was permanently suspended, Facebook/IG account was suspended until after the power transition on the 20th, Youtube account was suspended, Reddit was banned, people avoided censorship and fled to Parler, Google and Apple took down Parler, and Shopify closed the Trump store.
Du Yijin said, “Which of these platforms have done this to third world countries killing dictators and Hong Kong issues? If you do not see this problem, the future of digital totalitarianism will also be your problem.
Fight against “social media hegemony”, “ptt.ai” plan launched
The world’s social media giants are disguised as “commercial” speech censorship on the grounds of false information, and technology is hunting down those who take different positions.
As early as two years ago, he wrote to the media that he would launch the “ptt.ai” project manifesto, hoping to use blockchain to try to solve the global data oligopoly/monopoly problem, to implement “data justice”, “decentralized social platform” plan (http: //ptt.ai).
Eugene Du mentioned that the mainstream online platforms in China and the United States have been capturing a large amount of user information for commercial sale through users’ “social needs”, “information needs”, and “communication needs”, which has caused excessive and unjustified power; moreover, they have horizontally annexed various industries to collect more information through unequal data power.

Implementing “data justice” in the era of artificial intelligence with blockchain
Now is the “opportunity to change”! The Taiwan Internet community is quite close to the “Internet citizens” such as Taiwan BBS stations (such as batch kicking), and secondly, the Taiwan citizen technology community has been actively promoting government organizations, transparency and openness of information for many years. Open. Batch kick kick (ptt.cc) is the first in Taiwan to have a virtual currency (P-coin) system, instant messaging (throwing water balloons) system, e-mail (station mail), user self-governance of moderation and group norms (decentralized site governance).
Du Yijin said, only now ptt host is still considered centralized, “we hope to make decentralized does not need to have intermediary platform”, “batch kick” in the future can be combined with blockchain technology, virtual currency, “credit no longer need to rely on a single organizational structure platform, provide account system to maintain; network content, information no longer need to a single organization, to provide space and traffic to carry out.
Du Yijin believes that this challenge allows PTT to truly become a spirit, the system from the past need to “host” completely liberated, such new technology, if used properly, will be able to effectively remove the monopoly of the platform provider.
“Send in your resume”! We hope that those who are interested will join us
The launch of ptt.ai is a reflection and reform action on the contemporary Internet environment and phenomenon. It allows various industries to cooperate with open and open source platforms, and the spirit of community autonomy allows the platforms to be operated under the blockchain and data economy sustainability, giving users the right to “own their own data”.
I hope to find more people to participate and develop together,” said Eugene Du, “ptt.ai” plan has actually now achieved slack interface, before going to busy joint learning wasted a while, currently in urgent need of PM/front-end/back-end personnel, hope that like-minded people, who want to work full-time, come together to punch a platform out, those who are interested can send their resume to him.
