CNN (2025-12-5):
Taiwan bans Instagram-like, popular Chinese social media app
"Xiaohongshu" or "RedNote" (「小紅書」)
which has surged in popularity among young Taiwanese
in recent years.
Taiwan cited Xiaohongshu's
refusal to cooperate with authorities as the basis for the ban, claiming that
the platform has been linked to more than 1,700 fraud-related cases.
Comparing
"RedNote"
with Facebook:
♣1.
New York Times (2017-6-27)
:
Facebook did comply with
local governments' requests to block or restrict huge number of user-contents in
about 20 countries.
(see below);
But China's
"RedNote"
refuses to do that.
♣2.
Facebook suppressed free speech by hidden, crafty means, such as by its
algorithm or community rules as Taiwan's FTV (政經看民視, 2018-3-8)
said
(see below);
instead, Taiwan
did it openly and 'recklessly'.
Both are unnecessary and excessive.
♣3.
Taiwan's United Daily (聯合報,
2025-12-6): according
to statistics, the financial loss caused by crimes of fraud or scam in Taiwan is
NTD 400 million on average per day, 70% of them
occurred on Facebook;the amount of financial loss on
FB one day equals that on "RedNote"
for 2 years.
Therefore, the true reason to ban "RedNote"
is politics (先射箭再畫靶的政治封鎖)。

Facebook free expression
was suppressed upon government' s requests !?
☉
An article in
the New York Times at 6-27-2017
pointed out that Facebook "acts in response
to government requests". ( https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/27/opinion/facebook-first-amendment-leaks-free-speech.html )
The New York Times reported at
11-22-2016 that Facebook did comply with local governments' requests to block or
restrict huge number of user-contents in about 20
countries, such as Pakistan, Russia and Turkey. ( https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/22/technology/facebook-censorship-tool-china.html
) <United Daily (聯合報)>
11-2-2018, headline news : Taiwan's National Security Bureau confirmed their
investigations of Facebook communities and others on the net, for monitoring,
controlling and collecting "controversial information" including those "influence
national security", "blacken ("詆譭", a term of Martial Law period / UDN,
11-3-2018) president", "disrupt social stability",
"distort policy" and
"disturb national
mechanism", "fight governmental prestige", "influence public mind and morale"; UDN 11-3-2018: Facebook and all other
internet platform service
providers in Taiwan were requested to hand in all users' personal information
and data.
UDN critiques pointed out
"Big Brother is watching you" almost for sure lead to "Chilling Effect".
More
countries are trying to use FB as an instrument for various purposes.
Media like Reuters
reported at 4-27-2017 that "Vietnam says Facebook commits
to preventing
offensive
content".
National Taiwan Univ. professor in Apple Daily of Taiwan at 10-6-2017 said Facebook
even provided
Vietnamese police with evidence or information to arrest anti-government
dissident(s). Based on the
United Daily of Taiwan (Nov.
25,2016), Facebook removed
some human rights contents upon the US police's requests. Furthermore,
Business Insider at 7-8-2016 also reported
Facebook was accused of censoring
conservative news among its trending topics, and supported or suppressed particular political
viewpoints
in Germany, Europe. Facebook is named as a "for-profit corporation"
by Wikipedia
(Sept., 2017), certainly may "cooperate" or "collaborate" with any country,
governments,
organizations, the powerful
to politically block
free speech of particular targets.
☉
In the summer of 2017, a "Green Terror on Facebook" triggered concerns
and public anger in
Taiwan. All Taiwanese mass media reported that politicians
and online personalities said they had been denied access to their Facebook accounts after writing criticisms of Pan-Green coalition,
the ruling political party (DPP). The leader of Chinese Nationalist
Party think tank stated that the freedom of speech on Facebook Taiwan has
retreated 50 years, and urged
FB's
Taiwanese
users getting together to globally accuse Facebook
about this deformed
and illegal
phenomenon
-
free-expression
terror on Facebook. This issue has already been
included in Wikipedia references. Taiwanese government denied having
sent any political requests to Facebook. Facebook Hong Kong & Taiwan
office officially denied that they took sides to favor one of 2 major political
parties or suppressed Taiwanese freedom of expression, although some news
articles have different viewpoints concerning this issue.

The author of this web-site also
experienced similar issues on Facebook - after having created a FB
account with unbiased & no harmful content and made nearly 3000 artist friends
from about 100 countries within about 1.5 month, reported an Euro arts expo. held by FECO for Turkish
cartoonist and journalists on trial, his Facebook account was suspended, for unknown reason. This seems to be a well-planned scheme,
because some bad tricks came before Zola Zu's account was blocked. Zu wrote an article about this mystery and had it
print in Taiwan's most popular news, Apple Daily (then was reprinted in another
major news, the
United Daily News blog), to " publicly shame them and to
hold them accountable" as Business Insider (7-8-2016) critic suggested.
Google, Bing, Yahoo evidently are better than Facebook in free expression.

Taiwanese fight back terror
on Facebook
☉
(1) Zola Zu's freedom of expression article in Apple Daily, most popular news in
Taiwan
There's no
evidence to prove that Taiwan
government is the right one all users having bad experiences should fight back. The KMT (Chinese Nationalist Party) suspected the ruling party, but
Taiwan administration denied everything, maybe Taiwan wanted Facebook to take the blame for it
?

About the article "Facebook's
True Colors"
(below is updated version):
● Facebook's official letter
(Aug. 2017) to Taiwan emphasized the importance of
real-name policy which may make FB community civilians feel safe.
However,
Facebook's "real name" is :
●
a big threat to human rights !
Many members of the US Congress, civil liberties experts, European government
already labeled Facebook as "the greatest threat to civil rights today".(medium.com,
5-28-2015)
Facebook
allowed
outsiders to ffectively steal personal information from 50 million +
Americans (New York Times,
Observer, 3-21-2018) , FB
attacked democracy
(New York Times,
8-29-2016), discriminated certain groups (
PROPUBLICA.org
2-8-2017),
repeated violating privacy law (penalty fine in Euro. / Fortune
9-11-2017), was developing
censorship tool to enter China market
(New York Times,
11-22-2016),
conducting secret psychological tests, prompting outrage from users and
experts (Guardian,
7-2-'14) , and
developing mind-reading tech. causing public
worries (The
Guardian, UK, 4-19-2017), etc. Just like McDonald's slogan "We do it all for
you", in fact is "all for McDonald's itself", the reason Facebook exists is
for profit only.
●
a media !
Facebook refused to acknowledge and
to admit their 'real name', a media company or
publisher, FB kept avoiding taking media's
responsibility, instead, they did spread false
news,
influence
elections and
allow horrific speech. Recently, under media experts' great
pressures, Facebook "implies" it's a
media (not a traditional media), but how Facebook getting into the world of
editorial judgment needs to be watched carefully ...
●
an advertising platform !
Facebook's
another 'real name' is
advertising platform instead of a social network, as some Western media
commented. Facebook reads and analyses your private communications
and information, everything about the user is FB's "product"
(FB got penalty fine several times in Euro.), the real
"customers" are advertising companies and data collectors (including state apparatus
).
Bloomberg News 3-21-2018: All privacy problems are product problems ...
BBC, 3-20-2018: Data ... bring advertisers to the platform, who in turn make
it money. Brand
company should not sell fake products, but Facebook did not spend enough
efforts ( or used 'selective enforcement' ) on
eliminating fake accounts. (<USA Today> reported 83 million fake accounts
in total. It's not difficult to find
multi-account users around Euro. and USA. All these sent a clear message, or actually encouraged
users to create more than one account. ps: Guardian 5-15-2018:
Facebook closed 583m fake accounts in first 3 months of 2018 (to save its
image) )
●
a hitter !
Facebook's
'real name' is a sort
of 'hitter' or 'goon' to suppress freedom of expression or certain users upon
many government's requests, including US
police's request to block American's human rights pages.
Facebook
has many algorithm and man-made tricks to suppress or bully users, e.g., checkpoint/block
leads users to an infinite loop, like a mouse in circles.
Do
you feel safe ?
●
Anonymity is allowed
in
Twitter, which, in recent years, has turned into a dominant social network in Japan.
If Facebook is
not friendly or hostile to Taiwanese people, we should not be this humble and tolerate
being second-class citizens in that empire, we have other alternatives.

Huang also
stated that Facebook has numerous complicated tricks to suppress

totally control our speech on FaceBook, they selected certain
articles to be shown, selected limited number of users or none to see those articles.
"We even don't know who the darkness is."
"Our

Facebook only want us to yield obedience to them or to be completely
under control."
Critic
Huang also mentioned, those articles she wrote to criticize Pan Blue (KMT)

3.
case study -
Facebook suppress, block, or bully
tricks
Zola Zu's content on FB
includes no
specific
infractions, no directly inciting
violence, nothing misleading, malicious, harmful, or discriminatory, but Facebook
suspended the account after playing some tricks or/and giving bullies.
☉ (1)
Facebook's suppression trick one ...
?
A poll was held at top of a video shared by Zola Zu, but it can't be seen on
Zu's account. The poll asked users to select from options
like " follow Zola ? " , "follow XXX ?" (an Eastern Euro. cartoonist
(or a corporation, hacker in the dark?)
holding the poll), and some phrases like to limit part of Zola Zu's right ......
The video is about lions
revenge in a circus, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5moEG1A-Uo (theme: Lions Attack On Trainer In The Circus),
other Westerner artist shared it without the problem I had.
Besides, I attached a brief of scholarly study regarding animal abuse related
with human abuse.
Did this poll take proceed in Facebook's
eyeline ? any possibility can't be excluded. Someone in the
dark interrupted my working on my FB, for the video.
According to an article by Ohio State University Law School professor Margot E.
Kaminski on NY Times in 2017, even animal abuse content is allowed on Facebook,
he wrote:
Facebook
generally allows
the sharing of
animal abuse, a
category of
speech the
Supreme Court
deemed protected
in 2010. But
diverging from
First Amendment
law, Facebook
will remove that
same imagery if
a user shows
sadism, defined
as the
“enjoyment of
suffering.”
Of course, the video Zola Zu shared is not a “enjoyment of suffering” short film,
instead, it's educational. Facebook should remove that poll,
not any of my content.
All my FB friends
supported me except probably one - only one left from my friend-list.
This is truly their vote, expressive act, symbolic speech, substantive
statement after Gegenseitigkeit kommunikationsfreiheiten "behind me".
☉
(2) Facebook's
suppression trick two
The messenger functioned partly, (coincidently?) after Zola Zu (probably the 1st one on FB) shared
the news about a cartoon-art exhibition for Turkish editorial cartoonist &
journalists in jail and on trial.
☉
(3) Facebook's
suppression trick three
FB's official reason about Zu's account suspension is "something unusual happened".
The dialogue box
(as below),
FB checkpoint/block, popped up while trying to log on Facebook again.
That's a trick because Facebook keeps wanting user-photo and keeps rejecting
very clear
passport photos. Other users had same experiences - pls. ref. to
Facebook Aug., 2017
https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=1865681153684857
To solve this, Zola Zu sent Facebook an agreement offering a big USD amount more than
the Median Wealth per adult
in USA for FB's acceptance, to challenge or to test Facebook's combination of facial recognition tech.
(MIT said up to 98% in accuracy), other tech. and human review system. The agreement stated they can take
all the money if FB proves the photo
uploaded is fake. This way is much more precise and
efficient than FB's current methods
because no any hacker is willing to give Facebook this offer which might bring
bad guys into deep legal
trouble.
Till
the due day, FB did not respond to accept this easy-money-to-earn offer.
Facebook was trying to get smart with users ?
or really misjudged users' photos uploaded?? ......
| |
 |
| |
pic. : Facebook seems not honest,
or just get cute with int'l users? The
dialogue box above asks uploading an user-photo only to result in an
infinite loop ―
users keep uploading and keep being rejected.
So, it's 99.9%-100% that
checkpoint/block is a dead end, a vital error or seemingly a screen,
cloak...
Advise world people not to respond this ! just waste your
time and energy.
|
| |
 |
| |
pic. : Chinese version of this infinite-loop trick
|
☉
(4) Facebook's
suppression trick four
Some days after
sending the offer ( USD amount about equaling the Median wealth per adult in USA ), an email from FB
security system arrived at me. Facebook wanted to help me back to my
account. Sounds very nice... but ...
(pls see pic.s below).
| |
.jpg) |
| |
pic.: Seems, a handsome
"flip-flop".
Facebook security system
said "How're u doing ? It seems you can't log on Facebook, please
click the button below, we will help you to log in
your account ...
|
| |
.jpg) |
| |
pic. : Facebook says a security
code was just sent to your email-box (STEP 1)
|
| |
 |
| |
pic. : Facebook asks you to enter
the security code which just sent to your email-box (STEP 2)
|
| |
 |
| |
pic. : Facebook asks you to enter
new password to log in, after the security code entered passed FB's verification
(STEP 3)
|
| |

pic. : FB gave a 'kind'
adjustment ―
from "an infinite loop" to "a finite loop" with an exit.
―
The new password still can't login the account. Repeating those 3 steps above
a few times,
FB said you had tried
it too often, pls. try it later on.
|
Conclusion

◆
Facebook executed the suppression mission, but who gave them requests
(or "info." ) ?? it's not FB's algorithm or
community rule,
according to Facebook's official letter ( community-rule interpretations ) dated Aug.
1, 2017 to Taiwan .
The
suspect is ...?
● suspect 1 : Taiwan - a main suspect, for many
reasons, e.g., encountering 1-2 sec. trouble while emailing my critique article
to Apple Daily, one of Zu's computer-screens became a flash gun, sometimes flashed light one
after another. But no hard proofs, Taiwan has not admitted any bad actions
and has not clearly answered Zola Zu's letters as well as web-site ( world top
rankings
understand Taiwan comment
Taiwan Review Taiwan
etc, Google, Yahoo, Bing is better than
FB in free speech !? ) asking clarification for years.
● suspect 2 : Turkey - a suspect
with very minor probability, because Zu balanced his report concerning Turkish
cartoonist in jail by
juxtaposing news-reports from China, Taiwan,
Europe, and USA - Washington Post.
● suspect 3 : Europeans - suppose
not, they expressed thanks for Zu's report about their cartoon-arts exhibition
for Turkish journalists in prison.
● suspect 4 : Americans - fear Zu's content?
probably not.... Maybe, Facebook can
answer this.
● other suspects : China or other Asian
countries - not possible, no content about them. I have strong feeling it's not them, this time.

臉書答應越南當局將會積極篩除當地反政府言論──不僅只是讓相關話語圖片「被消失」,甚至還提供警察單位逮捕反對人士的資訊證據。這一切嚴重侵犯隱私與公民權利的舉措,目的都只是為了換得越南政府放鬆對其網路商業行為的控管。
...所謂「自由」權利的保障,對臉書來說是雙重標準的。...前提卻是人們必須交出他理應擁有的絕對自由──國家政府想控制你的言論自由、或商業機構想影響你的消費自由,讓臉書好好管理著,並以此作為與當地政府和廣告業主的談判籌碼或妥協條件。

Facebook descrimination 2016-11-17罗世宏
Chinese version below : 根据ProPublica的调查报道,脸书允许广告客户避开若干少数族群,譬如房地产广告避开族群背景属于非洲裔、亚裔或拉美裔的用户。
脸书硬拗说,“族群亲近性”不等于“种族身份”,所以脸书并无涉及种族歧视之虞。
对此,有民权律师驳斥,脸书的这项服务明显违反美国1968年制订的《公平居住法》与1964制订的《民权法》,因为脸书的做法已涉及在房屋租售广告和就业招聘广告中排除特定种族和族群身份的对象。
算,也可能发生在执法、营销和保险业等方面,例如有色人种、贫穷、住在破败小区、失业或生病,很可能会遭受歧视待遇,并且被数据探勘技术标记为“高风险群体”,在日常生活的每一个领域都持续遭遇各种歧视待遇。换言之,那些运气较差的人可能会一直处于运气不好的际遇,并非出于纯粹是巧合的偶然性所致。
因此,这次ProPublica所揭露的脸书广告所涉及的种族歧视,恐怕只是整个图景的冰山一角,还有更多的歧视形式值得我们继续关注,特别是包括脸书在内的所有社交媒体用户更不可对此掉以轻心才是

..... 臉書打壓的方式,花招繁複 .... 他們躲在黑洞中,管制言論。完全掌控了,哪些文章,要讓多少人看見。甚至要不要讓人看見的權力。但我們連這些黑手是誰,都不知道。我們寫的文章、po的照片,做的直播,都貢獻了臉書無盡的財富。但臉書,不對我們負責。臉書要求我們臣服,要我們被他完全掌握。
...她批評國民黨的文章,臉書倒是從來不曾打壓呢。

管制! 批蔡、批民進黨
紛遭停權!臉書綠色恐怖 祖克柏
你知道嗎?
「台灣臉書審核機制讓人看不懂」!智庫執行長孫立群表示,行政院科技政委唐鳳月前公開推動「寧靜科技」,不久後批評蔡英文、民進黨等貼文或帳號,紛紛被處以停權,顯然臉書言論管制有相當針對性。
...,台灣臉書管理者控制言論自由的舉動,已讓臉書淪為政治鬥爭的場域,也讓台灣陷入綠色恐怖之中。

藍智庫質疑臉書搞「綠色恐怖」籲公開審查機制
2017年07月27日
「台灣臉書變綠了!」... 民進黨執政後,臉書儼然進入綠色恐怖時期,任何批評蔡政府等貼文或帳號,紛紛被下架、停權,如此控制言論自由的作法,...,台灣臉書應公開相關審查機制,... 台灣臉書審查機制除軟體偵測外,還有臉友檢舉,若內容違反《臉書社交守則》就會被刪除,然而守則的標準卻很模糊,也不知道審核者究竟是誰,只知道從未聽聞綠營有人臉書被封鎖。
孫繼正表示,他的臉書帳號在罷免黃國昌活動進入第二階段時,無預警地在36小時內被停權3次,用手機無法登入,連換成朋友帳號也不行,朋友懷疑他手機IP是否被鎖定。最後只得寫英文申訴信給臉書恢復權限,孫繼正認為臉書言論倒退50年。

綠色恐怖?臉書說明:涉霸凌、仇恨言論才刪文
國民黨智庫日前指控臉書管控management
and control
言論、搞「綠色恐怖」,質疑民進黨政府上台後,親藍人士如陳長文、黃士修,在臉書發表質疑政府政策的文章遭封鎖,還有部分人士的臉書帳號遭停權
網路媒體《上報》今晚報導,NCC委員陳憶寧去函臉書公司,關切其對社群及使用者貼文post、帳號的管理準則。臉書香港及台灣公共政策總監陳澍(George
Chen)前天具名回函,解釋據臉書社群規範,涉及霸凌、騷擾、仇恨言論及濫發垃圾訊息等,才會遭到刪文。
陳澍回函說明,臉書設計全球性的社群守則時,主要考量用戶真實性和內容安全性,針對用戶擁有多個個人檔案、冒充他人檔案,會要求關閉多餘檔案或將其移除。
針對國民黨質疑言論遭封鎖、用戶檢舉標準不明確,回函指出,臉書尊重並推崇言論自由,但也會處理違反臉書社群守則的言論,如用戶針對特定族群發表仇恨言論,或涉嫌濫用帳號、反覆發送垃圾訊息,都可能導致帳號遭停權、貼文被刪除。

臉書批蔡英文就被封鎖停權 藍智庫控「綠色恐怖」
2017年07月27日11:31
台灣臉書管理者控制言論自由的舉動,已讓臉書淪為政治鬥爭的場域,也讓台灣陷入綠色恐怖之中。台灣的臉書使用者應該團結起來,向國際發聲,控訴這個畸型且違法的現象,制止綠色黑手伸進臉書、打壓台灣的言論自由。
國民黨智庫國家政策研究基金會上午召開記者會說,臉書每月活躍用戶數在台灣達1800萬人,自民進黨執政後,多人臉書遭封鎖、停權、下架和禁止分享,質疑台灣臉書審核者有問題,已進入「綠色恐怖時期」,言論自由遭到箝制、打壓,情況越來越嚴重。
國民黨智庫說,日前知名的法學教授、律師陳長文以《民進黨政府正在復辟刑法一百條》為題投書媒體,質疑嚴格管制退將赴大陸的蔡政府有違法治精神,結果這篇文章的連結,竟一度遭到臉書封鎖,甚至連政大法律系副教授廖元豪要分享這篇文章,都被封鎖,讓廖大嘆,「臉書問題實在很大。」

駭客眼中的美麗新世界
.....以臉書為例,剛出現時,擺出公益與救世主姿態想進軍大陸和印度,宣稱推動免費網路造福人類。但美歐相繼大選,世人看清臉書一直在利用演算法製造同溫層,便於廣告商藉同儕效應做行銷,近日甚至被爆內部文件指打算協助廣告商鎖定心智脆弱少年以更精準行銷。
曾信誓旦旦當媒介不當媒體的臉書,...
又經何審查機制?說穿了,假新聞、業配文氾濫的同溫層、直播,都是臉書的金雞母,一切都為了商業利益。

立委批國民黨:滿腦子黨國思想者
才會想要控制國際社群媒介
〔記者陳鈺馥、施曉光、陳炳宏、楊淳卉、李欣芳/台北報導〕國民黨智庫、國家政策基金會昨日召開記者會,指控自民進黨執政後,臉書已進入「綠色恐怖」時代,連發表罷免時代力量立委黃國昌的文章,帳號都直接被停權封鎖,這種箝制言論自由的「綠色恐怖」,連臉書創辦人札克柏格都不知道,國家通訊傳播委員會(NCC)、數位政務委員唐鳳均應出面處理。
國民黨智庫國家政策基金會昨召開記者會指控台灣臉書「綠色恐怖」,頻管制批綠言論,將臉書使用人帳號停權處理。臉書總公司回應表示,不特別針對單一事件回應。

臉辨識同步分享照片 臉書開發新程式
大量上傳的照片裡,Facebook臉書宣稱他們的人臉辨識正確率達98%,並且能在8億張照片當中,只需花5秒就可以辨識出目標臉孔,就算照片只拍到半張臉,或是你根本不在照片裡面,運算系統依舊能依,靠照片中的景物細節,加上其它有你在內的照片背景,來判定你是否有參加聚會,只是Facebook臉書科技發展到這個地步,不免讓人擔心,人類未來的隱私將蕩然無存
