Why It Matters
As the end-of-year general election enters its final 10 days, the Hsinchu County Police Department continues to cooperate with prosecutors in a strong bribery investigation, and launched an online delisting operation last weekend because some candidates were suspected of using AI and deepfake technology to spread forged or altered indecent information online.
The end-of-year general election has entered its final ten days. In addition to continuing to cooperate with prosecutors in a strong bribery investigation, the Hsinchu County Police Department is also concerned that some candidates were suspected of using AI and deepfake technology to spread forged or altered indecent information on the Internet last weekend. After receiving the report, the police successfully launched a "quick attack" online and removed all indecent videos and photos from domestic and foreign websites involved within 24 hours. In order to prevent similar incidents from continuing to occur at the last moment of the election campaign, the Hsinchu County Police has reached a tacit understanding with relevant units and institutions to deploy in advance, and will strictly prevent and actively handle them 24 hours a day, regardless of weekdays and holidays, in order to purify the online election trend.
The police bluntly stated that they are still clarifying whether the above-mentioned cases involve deep fake technology, but this year is indeed the beginning of serious AI interference in elections since my country held elections. I am afraid that similar cases may still occur again. As for the "hot time" that occurs, bold judgment is likely to be on the weekend.

This is not only related to the fact that all industries and industries have entered vacation mode, and everyone has relatively more time and energy to "surf" online, which can make the fermentation of distribution faster and wider. The police also determined that the perpetrators were looking at the weekly vacation period. Even if the victim discovered the crime immediately and reported the crime immediately, after the prosecutor accepted the case, even if he wanted to stop the situation from spreading in time, he would still be constrained by the holidays and would not be able to carry out quick strikes.
The Hsinchu County Police Department had the above-mentioned understanding before this year's election campaign intensified, and prepared for the rainy day. It reached a tacit understanding of 24-hour cooperation with relevant channels to deal with the problem, so it was able to successfully remove all indecent information from domestic and foreign websites involved in the case within 24 hours of the incident and the report.
In addition, the Hsinchu County Police Department has also actively laid out information on illegal election brokerage such as traditional vote-buying, general election betting, and black mail. So far, there are nearly 40 pieces of vote-bribing information alone. More than 10 cases have been reported to the prosecutor for actual investigation, and two of them have been investigated and prosecuted.
