Taiwan's government is building an online system to help candidates get AI deepfake videos of themselves pulled down faster, a small win for election integrity ahead of the vote.

• The Ministry of Digital Affairs launched a reporting site where candidates can file deepfake complaints online instead of on paper.
• The system forwards reports straight to Meta, Google, LINE and TikTok, speeding up takedowns.
• The legal steps are unchanged — candidates still need police forensic verification first, and the election commission is copied on every report.
• The push comes as cheap generative AI tools make fake videos of politicians easy to produce and spread.

Outlook: Expect the system to face its real test as election season heats up and fake clips start circulating.
