       I am pleased to share my latest, published by the Global Network on Extremism & Technology (GNET), in which I did a deep dive into Malaysia's recent general elections (#GE15). In this write up, I discussed a number of important themes, such as 1) cybertroopers, 2) conspiracy theories, and 3) right-wing extremism. In this article, I highlighted how they overlap and interconnect in exacerbating existing social tensions in Malaysia, a country with a long and complicated history, to be weaponised for the self-interest and political ambitions of opportunistic political players. I also described how the information ecosystem is plagued not only by domestic bad actors but also by foreign influence operators who aim to disrupt a nation's democratic processes. The emergence of the influencer economy on social media allows political interference. In the conclusion, I identified risks as well as critical policy applications and lessons to be learned in order to safeguard future elections.https://gnet-research.org/2022/12/14/rage-clicks-hatebomb-and-the-new-world-order-how-hard-right-politics-and-conspiracy-theories-overlapped-to-undermine-malaysias-elections/

       Bad actors like Medvedev clearly understands how amplification works, and he made that thread knowing exactly what kind of results he would get and he was not disappointed. He's not thin-skinned enough to care about his detractors. I wish people would understand this.

       You're probably sneaking a read through my feed. Stop stalking my online profiles, stop liking my posts and trying to win my approval. Stay the hell away from me. I'm getting really tired of having to remove and block every single new account you resurrect of yourself. You know who you are, and let me tell you that I know about your problematic behaviour, misdemeanours, and complaints of sexual harassments against you. And you know I've seen the leery comments you've made about young women and their bodies. I also know where you work and who your employers are, so do not make me file an official complaint against you.Word gets around.
