‘Strait‘ to the Point: Taiwanese Minister on their digital future

On this episode of Reaganism, we are joined by guest host Rachel Hoff, Director of the Center for Freedom and Democracy and Audrey Tang, the Digital Minister of Taiwan since 2016.

Rachel and Audrey discussed how civically minded computer programmers in Taiwan, in partnership with the Taiwanese government, are working to strengthen their democracy and improve their governance using the internet and digital tools. They also discussed how Taiwanese social media fosters consensus rather than polarization and how Taiwan is fighting misinformation and election interference.
