One of the most popular falsehoods shared so far in Taiwan’s social media channels, for example, is a claim about nicotine being capable of curing the 2019 coronavirus, which is not true at all. In the last few days, Taiwanese citizens have been targeted with tons of misinformation about the new virus - and they are getting worried about it, too. I face language and time-zone barriers, so I reached out to fact-checkers in Taiwan (which is adjacent to China) and requested support.
Since then, I have been struggling to find data about the eight Wuhan “misinformers” - and I have come up against a void. Were these people actually false news producers? Or were they just sharing content about what is now known as the 2019 coronavirus?Ī researcher who studies misinformation in China asked me at the beginning of the week if I had information about those eight people who had been arrested for spreading “falsehoods about the new pneumonia” - and I didn’t. More than 20 days have passed since those detentions, and still the world doesn’t know much about what occurred with that group. The people who were allegedly arrested had posted on Weibo (a Facebook-like social media platform) and/or in other messaging apps that Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, was back. 3, Agence France Press reported that police forces from Wuhan, the capital of the Chinese province of Hubei, “had punished eight people for ‘publishing or forwarding false information on the internet without verification.’” By that time, police forces had posted a note on their social media channels, informing people about the detention and requesting citizens in Wuhan to obey the law and refrain from spreading misinformation. The most surprising aspect? In China, it can also get people arrested.
EIGHT THOUGHTS BLU ARRESTED UPDATE
We’ll be keeping an eye on it and update you accordingly.Coronavirus, which has killed at least 17 people and landed in the United States this week, is the newest source of misinformation sparking health fears worldwide. If the Keemstar interview becomes available to the public or to the authorities, that would certainly shape how this story grows. We cannot stress enough that there is no definitive proof one way or another right now that we have access to.
EIGHT THOUGHTS BLU ARRESTED MOD
Eightthoughts’ mod Blu certainly seems to have harassed Drift0r’s house with a gun, and if there was really a set-up to pay the mod for this service, then perhaps the bad times have only begun for Eightthoughts. There’s nothing definitive anywhere yet, other than perhaps Drift0r’s proof of harassment. Unfortunately, Keemstar’s interview with Blu hasn’t come to light yet. There’s a great deal of inconsistency across Eightthoughts’ statements and proof that’s been offered. Allegedly, Eightthoughts told Blu not to do this, but Keemstar’s report contracts this. Drift0r pointed out recently Blu wound up being arrested in response to the harassment of Eightthoughts and Blu, but nothing of note happened to Eightthoughts himself. 8Thoughts channels have been banned on Youtube.”ĭrift0r’s response on Twitter was “I don’t think the police have even heard about this yet!” which is not only surprising but disappointing. 8thoughts would stream Blu going to Drift0r house on twitch & Blu would keep stream donations. Just said in interview 8Thoughts & him had a deal.
“Eight Thoughts ‘discord mod “Blue” who showed up to Drift0r’s house with a gun. It sounds like Blu is also denying things now, according to Keemstar, Blu disclosed a deal was put into place with Eightthoughts to have the mod go to Drift0r’s house with a gun: Though Eightthoughts claims the accusations against him are false, NICKMERCS shared proof used in a case against Eightthoughts and one of his Discord mods, named Blu. FaZe Swagg was accused of cheating, and in response, Eightthoughts’ Youtube channel was taken down.
