People's Liberation Army 32nd Troll Division attacks Facebook page of Tsai Ying-wen (the woman most likely to be elected to the Taiwanese presidency in 2016) — leaving behind 80,000 hate mail comments.
The Foreigner has always maintained that website (or Facebook page) owners have the absolute right to treat comments as leniently or as strictly as they see fit.
Now in general, I see no earthly reason why the average site owner would allow their site to be hijacked by 80,000 anti-democratic messages from the Chinese Communist Party apparatus. But in this case, Tsai's decision to leave their anti-democratic screeds online is no doubt the correct one.
After all, it reminds Taiwanese voters who their enemies are.
UPDATE (November 12 / 2015): In the interests of accuracy, it should be noted that the comment swarming was conducted by People's Liberation Army Cyberwarfare Unit 61398, and not (as satirically postulated), the 32nd Troll Division of the People's Liberation Army.
