Taiwan,Presidential Election,Fake Videos

Two days before Taiwan's presidential election, fake videos featuring President Tsai Ing-wen circulated online. These videos, created using AI-generated voiceovers and fake show hosts, were based on a false document titled 'The Secret History Of Tsai Ing-wen'. Despite efforts to delete or ban the videos, they kept reappearing on social platforms. This is not the first instance of misinformation during Taiwan's election campaign. Another fake video showed US congressman Rob Wittman promising military support for Taiwan if two DPP candidates win the election. The video was debunked by AFP's Fact Check service.
