Inside a pro-Russia propaganda machine in Ukraine
Pro-Ukrainian, neo-Nazi or just actors in in a "fake news" video? A Russian "troll factory" in St Petersburg is working with the self-styled "Donetsk People's Republic" in eastern Ukraine to produce extreme propaganda videos that aim to discredit pro-Ukrainian elements and stir up the conflict in the region, BBC Russian has learned. A series of fake news videos produced by a group called the Russi
Pokemon's tears for Syria
More than five years into the war in Syria it is not always easy for interested parties to get public opinion in the outside world to focus, yet again, on a conflict that can sometimes seem insoluble. For many watching from a distance, the shock value of reports about the aftermath of barrel bombs, suicide attacks, torture and starving civilians can diminish with repetition. One tactic that some S
After British man abused, Taiwan debates its hidden racism
Many people in Taiwan thought racism and prejudice didn't exist in their society - until a viral video of a British man and his Taiwanese girlfriend being verbally abused on the subway last week touched off a soul-searching debate that's continued to trend. Last month, Christopher Raymond Hall and his girlfriend were taking the subway in Taipei when, Hall says, his girlfriend noticed a Taiwanese m
Is this manga cartoon of a six-year-old Syrian girl racist?
"I want to live a safe and clean life, eat gourmet food, go out, wear pretty things, and live a luxurious life… all at the expense of someone else," reads the text on the illustration above. "I have an idea. I'll become a refugee." The image and caption were posted by a right-wing Japanese artist last month. Now, more than 10,000 people have signed a Change.org petition in Japanese urging Facebook
Japanese comics that are too racy for Chinese censors... but still popular online
A Japanese comic is one of the biggest topics on social media in China - despite a government ban on the series. The series Death Note follows the story of a young student named Light Yagami who discovers a notebook with a sinister power. If a name is written on the pages of this notebook, that person will die. The series started as a weekly magazine serial in Japan but has since spawned books, fi
Boston kimono exhibit in race row
Following an uproar of criticism on social media, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) cancelled an event that protesters labelled racist and culturally insensitive. Museum officials announced that they would cancel "Kimono Wednesdays," which was originally scheduled to run until 29 July. Every week, visitors were encouraged to "channel your inner Camille Monet" by posing in front of Claude Monet'
What should social networks do about hate speech?
Mourners gathered outside the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston after a mass shooting that killed nine people. Extreme racist comments posted on the discussion website Reddit in the wake of the Charleston church shooting have once again raised questions about freedom of speech and the internet. How far should social networks go in censoring hate speech? Reddit is arguably th
The fake pictures of the Rohingya crisis
The plight of Rohingya Muslims fleeing Myanmar was thrust into the spotlight last month after thousands of migrants were left stranded at sea - but not all the images being shared online are what they seem to be. The Rohingyas are a distinct Muslim ethnic group mainly living in Myanmar, also known as Burma. They are not recognised as citizens of Myanmar and face persecution in the majority Buddhis
Why some people are blaming war for... women on bikes
War is tearing Yemen apart, and the news is unrelentingly grim. But some Yemenis have been raging not about fighting, airstrikes, or severe food shortages, but instead about… women on bikes. Bushra Al-Fusail is a young female photographer who's pushing one solution to severe petrol shortages caused by the conflict in Yemen: bicycles. "In 2011 when there were fuel shortages we could still find petr
'Take us with you, Scotland' say thousands in North of England
Thousands of people in the north of England have been using the hashtag "take us with you Scotland" to express their upset about the result of last week's general election, and Scottish nationalists are welcoming this English minority with open arms. Last Thursday's general election was a rough one for the Labour Party in its traditional stronghold in the north of England. But further to the north
Chinese tourists push back against rant about poor manners
An angry - some say prejudiced - rant against Chinese tourists has gone viral in Thailand, leading to a huge discussion on the Chinese internet. Duangjai Phichitamphon, a model from Thailand, was waiting in line at Jeju International Airport in South Korea when a group of Chinese tourists apparently jumped the queue. Her response was to record a tirade on the spot and post it to Facebook. In the v
