Vatican embraces social media 'digital missionaries'
SISTER Albertine, a youthful French Catholic nun, stood outside the Vatican, phone in hand, ready to shoot more videos for her hundreds of thousands of followers online. The 29-year-old nun, whose secular name is Albertine Debacker, is one of hundreds of Catholic influencers in Rome for a Vatican-organised social media summit this week. The Vatican calls them "digital missionaries" and – in an unprecedented move for the centuries-old institution – Pope Leo XIV led a mass dedicated to them at St Peter's Basilica, calling on them to create content for those who "need to know the Lord." Long wary of social media, the Catholic Church now sees it as a vital tool to spread the faith amid dwindling church attendance. For Sister Albertine, this is the ideal "missionary terrain." Inside the Baroque basilica, she was one of a swarm of religious influencers who surrounded the new pope, live streaming the meeting on their smartphones within one of Christianity's most sacred spots. She said it was highly symbolic that the Vatican organised the event bringing together its Instagramming-disciples. "It tells us: 'it's important, go for it, we're with you and we'll search together how we can take this new evangelisation forward," she told AFP. The influencer summit was held as part of the Vatican's "Jubilee of Youth", as young believers flooded Rome this week. Sister Albertine has 320,000 followers on Instagram and some of her TikTok videos get more than a million views. She shares a mix of prayers with episodes from daily religious life, often from French abbeys. "You feel alone and I suggest that we can pray together," she said in one video, crossing herself. But, as religious content spreads online in the social media and AI era, one of the reasons behind the Vatican's summit was for it to express its position on the trend. "You are not only influencers, you are missionaries," influential Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle – one of the few Vatican officials active on social media - told those attending mass. The "great influencer is God", he added. But Tagle also warned that "Jesus is not a voice generated by a digital programme." Pope Leo called on his online followers to strike a balance at a time when society is "hyperconnected" and "bombarded with images, sometimes false or distorted." "It is not simply a matter of generating content, but of creating an encounter between hearts," said the American pope, 69. It is this balance that has been hard to strike, with some Catholic clerics themselves embracing a social media presence. Father Giuseppe Fusari does not look like a regular priest: wearing tight shirts exposing his arm tattoos. To his 63,000 followers on Instagram, he mixes content about Italian church architecture and preaching. Fusari told AFP there is no reason Catholic clerics should not embrace the world of online videos. "Everyone uses social media, so it's important that we're there too," said Fusari, who came to Rome for the influencer event from the northern city of Brescia. Fusari said his goal was to reach as many people as possible online, sharing the "word of God" with them. This also takes the form of sharing videos of his chihuahua eating spaghetti. But priests and nuns are not the only ones trying to attract people to the Church online, with regular believers spreading the faith too. Francesca Parisi, a 31-year-old Italian teacher, joined the Catholic Church later in life. She now has some 20,000 followers on TikTok, where she tries to make the Catholic faith look trendy. Her target audience? People who have "drifted away" from the church. It's possible, she said, to lure them back through their smartphones. "If God did it with me, rest assured, he can also do it with you."

Fans React To Alleged Scalper Reselling Insider Tickets To NCT DREAM's KL Concert
It's bad enough that fans have to contend with scalpers whenever a concert is announced. But what's even more frustrating is the suspicion that some tickets may have already been set aside for insiders linked to the concert organiser. This was one of the issues discussed regarding G-Dragon's recent concert in Kuala Lumpur. It seems that fans of a K-pop group may be facing a similar situation. One scalper has allegedly claimed to be reselling insider tickets to NCT DREAM (엔시티 드림)'s upcoming concert in Kuala Lumpur, despite the fact that official ticketing details have yet to be released. Here's what happened: As many fans will know, NCT DREAM are set to perform in Kuala Lumpur this December as part of their 'The Dream Show 4: Dream The Future' tour. Earlier this week, a Twitter user discovered that an alleged scalper from Indonesia was reselling insider tickets to the upcoming concert via Instagram Story, though the individual's username had been cropped out. According to the screenshot, the scalper claimed to be selling VIP standing tickets. As the official ticketing details have yet to be announced, the fan was understandably baffled as to how the scalper had managed to obtain the passes. This has raised suspicions that the individual may be an insider themselves, or at least connected to someone within the event's organising team. As expected, the post instantly went viral with many calling out Live Nation Malaysia, urging them to explain if this is true or if the scalper was simply trying to scam fans. Others requested that the Twitter user expose the scalper so they can be reported. Some have also urged the organiser not to follow in the footsteps of another local company that was previously accused of prioritising foreign attendees. At the time of writing, Live Nation Malaysia has yet to address the issue regarding the alleged scalper and the supposed insider ticket. The alleged scalper, however, who has now been identified, has since set their account to private following the exposure. Hopefully, this is simply another case of a scalper attempting to scam fans into purchasing a non-existent ticket. It wouldn't be the first time, as something similar occurred when BIGBANG's Taeyang announced his concert. What do you think? Source: Twitter

Actress Eleanor Lee wins lawsuit against former assistant who doctored her audio recording
China-based Eleanor Lee has won a lawsuit against a former assistant who edited an audio recording which got the Singaporean actress into hot water with Chinese netizens. The 25-year-old daughter of Taiwan-born Singapore host Quan Yifeng was in the news in May for allegedly making derogatory comments about the people of China, which she denied. On May 21, a netizen claiming to be her former assistant posted an apology on Chinese social media platform Weibo and admitted to posting the edited recording. On July 29, Lee's agency wrote on Weibo that it had received the Chinese court's Certificate of Judgment Enforcement, and attached the document. 'Eleanor Lee has always loved and respected Chinese culture and stood firm in her position,' the agency wrote. 'We firmly defend her legal rights and urge everyone to refrain from believing or spreading rumours, to jointly resist false information and build a clean cyberspace.' The agency also shared a post from Yang Shuguang, a senior partner from Hai Run Law Firm, who shared a legal statement on the progress of the case. The statement said the court had issued a ruling on June 23, with the ruling taking effect on July 17. It also noted that the false content posted online by the former assistant had damaged Lee's reputation, causing her mental distress and affecting her business activities. 'The court ordered the defendant to run a statement of apology to Eleanor Lee on the defendant's Weibo account for 60 consecutive days, and to pay damages to her for mental stress, legal costs and other financial losses,' said the statement. It also said the legal firm has identified several social media accounts which maliciously fabricated and spread false information, and stated that it will continue to monitor these users. 'If the relevant network users still fail to promptly delete the infringing content they have posted after the release of this statement, or continue to commit the infringing acts, our lawyers will promptly collect additional evidence and file a lawsuit in court with the client's authorisation.' The furore began when a netizen claiming to be Lee's former assistant released a poor-quality audio recording that lasted about 30 seconds on Weibo in April. In the recording, which features much background noise and some muffled words, a woman is heard saying she is 'doing this not for fame, but for money' and that 'most people in China are idiots'. The incident gained traction after the media in China and Taiwan reported on it in May. Lee has not updated her social media accounts since posting a video clip on May 21, in which she gave her side of the story. There is no word if her role in the upcoming Chinese period drama, The Journey Of Legend, will be affected by the saga. Shi Hang Law Firm, which is representing the producers of the show, said in a statement posted on Weibo on July 29 that it is planning to take legal action against certain online users who have been spreading false information and continuously posting defamatory content about the series. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network
