This work aims to improve the information dissemination atmosphere of rural live broadcasting and ensure its long-term development. First, it studies and analyzes the current situation and characteristics of rural live broadcasting. Then, it discusses the blockchain (BC) technology and information dissemination mode in the era of artificial intelligence (AI). Finally, the characteristics of BC technology (BT) and the information dissemination model are discussed. A BT-optimized susceptible exposed infected recovered (SEIR) information dissemination model is proposed. The results show that the BT-optimized SEIR model has no effect on the traditional information transmission characteristics and can ensure the conventional transmission of all information. Additionally, BT can effectively improve the overall transmission efficiency of the SEIR model for false information and accurate information and effectively shorten the duration. Specifically, the BT-optimized SEIR model’s maximum false information transmission proportion is reduced by about 13%. The duration is reduced by 15 days over the traditional model. By comparison, in positive information dissemination, the maximum transmission proportion of the proposed BT-optimized SEIR model is about 19% higher than the traditional model. The duration is about 30 days longer. The research provides technical support for controlling and improving the current situation and atmosphere of rural live broadcasting information dissemination.

“…Government use of social media platforms varies in type, depending on the nature of each application, such as microblogging (i.e., Twitter), social networking (i.e., Facebook), multimedia sharing (i.e., YouTube), open data (i.e., Data.gov), questioning tools (i.e., Quora), crowdsourcing (i.e., Mechanical Turk), and content syndication (i.e., RSS). It is widely assumed that governments focus on the social media platforms most commonly used, such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and LinkedIn (Oltmann et al 2020;Wigand 2011); however, the social media technologies used may actually differ according to public agency, jurisdiction, and the frequency of scholarly analysis.…”

“…One of the most widely used (by governments) and studied social media platforms is Twitter (Oltmann et al 2020;Waters and Williams 2011). For example, Alam and Lucas (2011) suggested that Australian public agencies use Twitter to disperse information about government agencies and to report on their activities.…”

This study investigated how social media is used by a municipal government agency for communication of citizen coproduction initiatives, through social media content analysis of the government’s official Twitter account. This article identified that the dominant form of social media coproduction in the Bandung municipal government in Indonesia is government-to-citizen (G2C) interaction, focused primarily on informing and nudging (86.62%) citizens, as well as some limited elements of citizen-to-government (C2G) communication, such as citizen sourcing and citizen reporting (8.96%). The municipal government uses various visual tools on Twitter to disseminate G2C information and convey its messages. Regarding the phase of the service cycle, this study found that the majority of social media communications are related to co-assessment (52.26%) and co-designing (42.24%), with a limited number of tweets about co-delivery (3.25%). Based on these findings, this article discusses the shifting relationship between government and citizens brought on by the adoption of this social media platform in its service delivery arrangement.

“…Not all accounts are directly operated by department staff and the account managers are aimed at creating a network of "resistance" through science data shares, disinformation corrections and news cycles. They are based on Twitter's reference characteristics to extend this by over 140 characters (Oltmann et al, 2020). The use of Yogyakarta Special Region's Twitter Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) account has effectively disseminated and conforms with the key Regional Disaster Management Agency's (BPBD) duties and functions set forth in the regional legal basis.…”
