Every effort he has made has been distorted by the DPP’s online influence campaigns and “cybertroops,” he said. Asked about Minister of Transportation and Communications Lin Chia-lung’s (林佳龍) remarks earlier in the day that Han should stop blaming others for setbacks in his “love Ferris wheel” project, Han said Lin appears to be “completely clueless” about why the project has made little progress. The project is not making progress because the Ministry of Transportation and Communications has not approved Han’s proposal, his campaign office spokeswoman Anne Wang (王淺秋) said. Commenting on the remark that “cybertroops” are targeting Han, Wang said that many Facebook fan groups supporting Han have been closed by the social media company after “cybertroops” falsely reported them. Facebook should adopt more cautious measures for screening its fan groups, “or it would become a tool for the DPP to suppress freedom of speech,” she said.
