This study investigates the role of social media in shaping political participation and international news awareness in Taiwan, with a specific focus on platform governance and freedom of expression. In response to increasing disinformation and foreign influence, especially from China, Taiwan does not impose direct controls over social media content. Instead, it relies on a civil society–driven model of fact-checking and media accountability. Through expert interviews with six scholars, media professionals, and policy analysts, the research examines how algorithms, content moderation, and government-platform cooperation intersect. Findings suggest that algorithmic curation reinforces ideological bias and reduces users’ exposure to diverse perspectives, particularly in sensitive areas such as cross-strait relations. Experts highlight the need for government to support transparent systems and independent fact-checking rather than acting as a content regulator. The study underscores the importance of multi-stakeholder approaches to maintaining democratic values in the digital age.參考文獻 BBC News 中文.
