30-Second Overview: You have likely followed at least one local fan page like "I Am From Kaohsiung" or "I Am From Taichung," sharing night market news and weather, feeling like "us locals." In February 2026, someone caught an uncleaned AI instruction in a post on "I Am From Taipei." Following this thread back leads to a building on Jihu Road in Neihu, Taipei, and a group of people surnamed Lin running a related enterprise. They use AI to rewrite news from pro-China media into a "fellow townsman" tone, then batch-distribute it via fan pages disguised as locals from various counties and cities. The most ironic part is: it hardly fakes news, so you can't measure it with the ruler of "fact-checking."
In February 2026, a fan page calling itself "I Am From Taipei" posted what looked like an ordinary local image-text post. The real problem was a line of text remaining below that post: "Remove sensitive words, strengthen Taiwan local colloquialism" 1.
This is an instruction written for AI. It should have been deleted after generation, just as an author erases pencil marks on a draft before submitting. But this time, someone slipped up and posted the instruction along with the finished product. The fan page "Kaohsiung Good Day" (@takaogoodday) captured this image on February 19 and made a summary; two days later, Liberty Times, Newtalk, and Formosa TV followed up on the same day 2. A forgotten deleted line exposed the entire backend operation.

📝 Curator's Note
Pay attention to what this instruction says. "Remove sensitive words" assumes the original draft contains words that Taiwan readers shouldn't see. "Strengthen Taiwan local colloquialism" assumes the final product should pretend to be written by Taiwanese. In other words, this isn't a fan page editor polishing text; it's a production line doing two things: erasing the origin label, then attaching a "local" label. The whole technique is usually hidden behind the finished product; this time, the manufacturing process leaked the filling itself.
The Backend is on Jihu Road, Lane 10, Neihu
Following the clue from "Kaohsiung Good Day" to check company registrations, the backends of these county/city fan pages converge to the same address: 5th Floor, No. 46, Jihu Road, Lane 10, Neihu District, Taipei City 1.
Under this address operates a content business outwardly using the names "LIFE Lifestyle Network" (life.tw) and "US-based All Access Group." However, breaking down the commercial registration reveals that while it hangs one signboard outwardly, behind it is a cluster of companies. Jishuo Technology Co., Ltd., Unified Business No. 89977832, established in 1995, Chairman Lin Xianming; Bosite Technology Marketing Co., Ltd., established in 2005, Person in Charge Lin Xiuzi; Nianjie Technology Co., Ltd., established in 2011, Person in Charge Xu Yunting 3. The three persons in charge are different, but they rely on Lin Xianming, Zhang Yujia, Lin Xiuzi, and Lin Zhaofeng, four people, rotating names in each other's board of directors and supervisors lists, plus the same address, weaving a cross-shareholding Lin family group. It is not a single figurehead named Lin Xianming; it is a family web.

The capability combination of this web is more noteworthy than its low profile. Bosite's outward brand is the online survey network POLLSTER, specializing in public opinion surveys 4. That is to say, this group produces "public opinion data" with one hand. The group's job recruitment page also admits it is the "only unit in the country simultaneously operating social media websites, professional market research, news portal websites, blog broadcasting networks, SEO website optimization, and Facebook platform marketing" 1, holding nearly a hundred fan groups as "distribution channels" in the other hand. Nianjie Technology's recruitment post writes even more plainly: "Use AI text, AI images, AI video tools to produce interesting content, assisting over 100 fan pages with posting and material creation" 1. Producing data, mass-producing content, batch distributing—all three things are in the hands of the same people at the same address.
As for the signboard "US-based All Access Group," no company named "All Access" can be found registered in Taiwan, and the "ALL ACCESS HOLDING GROUP LTD." hanging at the website footer cannot be found corresponding to an entity in US state registration records 1. "US-based" is more like a sticker pasted on the door, essentially the same thing as the "local" characters on those county/city fan pages.

LIFE Lifestyle Network service page under Jishuo Technology lists platform advantages clearly: "Millions of monthly traffic," "Precise niche marketing," and "Native advertising placement, natural and not obtrusive"—meaning it can stuff content into your feed for sponsors. (Source: aams.tw)
✦ It produces public opinion with one hand making polls, mass-produces content with another hand using AI, and the third hand hangs content on nearly a hundred fan pages disguised as fellow townsmen for batch distribution.
CTV News, Wearing the Fellow Townsman's Tone
When you click on the "news" reposted by "I Am From Kaohsiung," you think you are reading local Kaohsiung media. In reality, most of this content comes from the CTV Group and CTWANT 1.
CTWANT's issuing unit is Wangdao Wangtai Media Co., Ltd., belonging to the Wang Wang China Times Media Group along with CTV Television 5. This group's political color is not a secret. CTV News Channel was found in violation 25 times by the NCC between 2014 and 2020, with cumulative fines exceeding NT$11.53 million, the highest fine amount among TV stations; in November 2020, all seven NCC commissioners unanimously resolved not to renew the license, and CTV stopped broadcasting in December, switching to YouTube and the internet 6. Earlier, a 2019 report by the UK's Financial Times quoted sources from Wang Zhong's reporters, stating that China's State Council Taiwan Affairs Office once called to issue editorial instructions, requesting support for specific candidates 5.
📝 Curator's Note
There is a clever time lag hidden here. When CTV was a TV station, it was regulated by the NCC; violations resulted in fines, and eventually, even the license was revoked. But when its content was rewritten by LIFE into "local image-text" using AI and distributed on "I Am From Kaohsiung," readers saw fellow townsmen, not CTV; the source was washed away. After CTV went offline and switched to the internet in 2020, it had already left the jurisdiction of the NCC. A piece of content originally under regulatory supervision, bypassing the AI process, finally lands on a fan page where no competent authority can manage it. Every step of this path makes it further from "accountability."

Between 2014 and 2020, CTV News Channel was fined over NT$11.53 million by the NCC. After the license was not renewed and it went offline in 2020, it switched to the internet, leaving the jurisdiction of the communications regulatory authority. Photo of NCC Yaping South Road Office.

Why use AI for this process instead of manual clipping? Scholar Wang Hongen provided a key criterion. When studying similar techniques, he pointed out that deliberately "using AI to rewrite articles" is "purposefully using AI to avoid investigation and detection" 7. Because identical content repeatedly copied and pasted will be caught by platforms as homogenous, leading to reduced reach. AI rewriting makes every piece look different, smoothing out the fingerprint of the origin. In this usage, AI is a weapon against detection: it automates and scales the "washing of origin," saving even the cost of manual copying.
Before Exposure, After Exposure
"Every now and then, the controversy of 'I Am From OO' fan pages is mentioned," this is the opening sentence of "Kaohsiung Good Day's" exposé article 2. This sentence is not rhetoric.
At the end of December 2025, the military issue fan page "New 27th Brigade" had already pointed out "I Am From Taipei" and "I Am From Kaohsiung," saying their "content is almost entirely news written by AI based on current events, paired with AI-generated images," and "all openings and formats are almost identical," suspecting behind them is "organized action, used for upcoming election舆论 operations" 8. This was about two months before the systematic exposé in February 2026; at that time, no one had pulled the thread back to that company in Neihu.
And after being exposed in February, this production line did not stop. In March 2026, the same series of fan pages issued AI-generated fake images, spreading rumors that Taiwanese fans, after watching a game at Tokyo Dome, left "areas piled with bento boxes, beverage cups, plastic bags, and other garbage," and "female toilets were a mess," which was exposed as coming from the same source 1. A content production line already pointed out by national media continued to operate normally within a month after exposure; this itself illustrates one thing: no mechanism can make it stop.
Another "She" in the Same Ecosystem
In June 2026, another wave of seemingly completely different things emerged on Taiwan's social media: a large number of matchmaking accounts, with the self-introduction "In Taiwan, only marry Taiwanese."
A citizen account ctchart.lab using AI tools for data analysis compiled a set of numbers: 252 accounts, 458 posts, with 99.6% concentrated in just three days from June 2 to June 4; at 10:37:53 AM on June 4, nine accounts posted in the same second; this "same-second simultaneous posting" occurred 90 times within three days; 32 sets of self-introductions were identical; the accounts' "factory specifications" were highly consistent: 100% single females, 98% marked no children, age concentrated between 30 and 49 years old, 99.6% BMI not exceeding 20.5, 90 accounts were 165 cm tall 9.
The most critical column is geographic location. Of the 252 accounts, only 25 marked "Account Location": China 21, Pakistan 3, USA 1—Taiwan, 0. The remaining 227 were all hidden 9.
📝 Curator's Note
Seeing the elements "China IP + Pretending to be Taiwanese + Only Marry Taiwanese," the most natural reaction is to blurt out "Cognitive Warfare." But the evidence actually points to another direction. What these accounts are truly doing is guiding people to add LINE "Sincere Friendship," and directing targets off the platform is the fingerprint of "Pig Butchering" scams. Political trend-setting wants to keep people on the platform to wash comments and boost volume; it would never take people off-platform to LINE. Looking at geography: Pakistan is not a typical distribution for political cyber armies, but it is a known location for transnational scam parks: in 2026, Pakistani police raided a scam center in Faisalabad, arresting 149 people, 48 of whom were Chinese nationals 10. The same shell does not necessarily contain the same organism.It needs to be clarified: the number of these 252 accounts was currently only produced by one citizen using AI via ctchart.lab, without third-party verification. It is a clue worth pursuing, not yet a conclusion.
Placing the matchmaking case in this article is not because it is the same batch of people as "I Am From OO"; they are likely two different things. It is placed here because it shares the same external shell logic with "I Am From OO": a pleasant, harmless, "local" labeled identity, followed by an invisible backend. The difference lies only in what the backend wants to take from you. Seeing a China IP and shouting "Cognitive Warfare," or seeing fellow townsman tone and believing it is fellow townsman, is actually the same kind of laziness.
"Coordinated Behavior" Does Not Equal "Cognitive Warfare"
The academic term that best fits "I Am From OO" is "Coordinated Behavior."
Taiwan Information Environment Research Center (IORG) defines it as: "The behavior of repeatedly publishing identical or highly similar content, or the same links, within a short time on news media, social media, and instant messaging platforms" 11. Note the restraint in this definition: it only describes the "behavior," does not assume behind it is foreign forces, nor does it assume malice. Nearly a hundred format-consistent fan pages synchronously reposting the same content fits the characteristics of "Coordinated Behavior," but "Coordinated Behavior" itself is only a neutral behavior marker.
📝 Curator's Note
The words most easily misused in Taiwan in recent years are "Cognitive Warfare" and "Cyber Army." IORG researcher Wang Xi said a heavy word: "The element constituting a 'Cyber Army' is the existence of a 'monetary consideration' relationship," if "whenever you dislike a discourse, you put on the hat of 'Cyber Army'... it is very dangerous for Taiwan's public discussion," because "randomly accusing cognitive warfare is exactly what information manipulators want to see," the more you randomly stick labels, the easier it is for real cyber armies to hide 12. Wearing out the word is equivalent to helping the enemy clear a larger camouflage.
Even the person with the least reason to speak for this technique refuses simple attribution. In his 2021 TSSCI paper on Chinese cognitive warfare, Shen Po-yang drew a "Diamond Model," laying out the initiators of information manipulation on a coordinate. In the "Economic Motivation" box, he clearly lists "commercial content farms, general YouTubers/streamers, fan page administrators"; in the "Political Motivation" box, only then are the Ministry of National Defense, PLA, State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, Publicity Department, and CAC 13. He wrote clearly in the paper: "Initiators who confuse the public's cognitive system are not limited to foreign forces" 13. Motivation is a continuous spectrum from commercial to political, with various "helpless" roles standing in the middle.
Even Meta thinks so. In its 2020 official statement, it wrote that when handling "coordinated inauthentic behavior," the platform "looks at behavior, not content, regardless of who is behind it, what was posted, whether foreign or domestic" 14, and acknowledged that coordination and authenticity are two spectra, not black-and-white switches. From Taiwan researchers to the world's largest social platform, the same advice is derived: Look clearly first, then define.
Not Fake News Doesn't Mean No Problem
If you use the ruler of "fact-checking" to measure "I Am From OO," you will measure an awkward result: it basically measures nothing.
Because it mostly reposts real news. The content reported by CTV and CTWANT may not be fake; after AI rewriting, the factual level often withstands checking. Zhongzheng University's Huang Junru distinguished two easily confused terms: disinformation is "malicious information," intentionally causing harm; misinformation is "incorrect information," unintentional error, the biggest difference lies in intent 15. By this standard, "I Am From OO" likely counts neither, because it doesn't operate on "content being false."
Its problem is on another level. IORG splits information manipulation into three types; besides "Fact Manipulation," there is another called "Source Manipulation" [^6]: the source is hidden, disguised. "I Am From OO" does exactly this: washing away the Wang Zhong source, attaching the fellow townsman identity. The content is true, but your judgment on "who this is, why you are seeing it" has been tampered with. IORG has an even colder metaphor: even if no one reads a single post, this content is "accumulating local keyword inventory," acting as "fertilizer for future fake news" 11.
And in all reports, the same reservation appears repeatedly: "Summing up currently public information, it is impossible to understand where the clients and financial flows of this series of companies come from" 1. This sentence is the safety valve this entire article must hold. No evidence shows Lin Xianming is Chinese capital or a CCP agent; all that was investigated is "untraceable," not "found." Existing evidence only supports a low-key local marketing group in Neihu, a secondary distribution channel for pro-China media, an AI localization process, and a financial flow that is unclear. It claims it can "insert specific content" for sponsors 2, but who that sponsor is, no one can find.
A Forgotten Prompt Editor, and a National-Level Content Farm
To see the position of "I Am From OO" clearly, the best method is to place it alongside a true national-level operation.
In February 2026, Wang Hongen exposed another case. A content farm called "Borderless Media," with a website hosted in Qinhuangdao, Hebei, "has direct contact with the Propaganda Department and CAC." Its residual AI instruction was written like this: "Targeting Taiwan users, using Traditional Chinese, re-edit this article, word count controlled at 500, retain the original article's opening part, do not change the original article's historical truth" 7. The "Targeting Taiwan users," "do not change the original article's historical truth" in the instruction is a top-down, politically motivated production line speaking.
Placing this instruction side-by-side with "I Am From OO's" "Remove sensitive words, strengthen Taiwan local colloquialism," the difference is obvious at a glance. Wang Hongen himself separates the two very cleanly; he specifically reminds that some cases "are not just a domestic打工小编 forgetting to delete the prompt" 7, implying that some cases are just that. One is a local business in a Neihu company greedy for traffic; one is a national-level operation connected to the CAC; one's prompt handles "local tone," one's prompt handles "historical truth." They can be compared on the same gray spectrum, but absolutely cannot be confused.

Control Group: The residual AI instruction in Qinhuangdao "Borderless Group" posts exposed by Wang Hongen—"Targeting Taiwan users, using Traditional Chinese, re-edit this article, word count controlled at 500, retain the original article's opening part, do not change the original article's historical truth." This is a national-level operation connected to the CAC, completely different from "I Am From OO's" local profit-making prompt. (Source: Voice Tank / Wang Hongen, reporting and commentary citations)
Don't connect the thread too quickly; this is the lesson most worth remembering in recent years. In 2022 during the pandemic, after celebrity Guo Hanyun reposted "Many children just left," IORG found at least 25 fan pages posting identical "Many children left!" within 10 seconds, with the first comment all linking to the same content farm 16; that was a textbook-level coordinated operation. But even in that instance, Storm Media's fact-check reminded that mainstream media reports were actually earlier than the clustering push of those fan pages, "many fan pages posting simultaneously" does not necessarily equal an information war 17. Moreover, those named fan pages (Ai Jingyan, BuzzHand, that string) were not equated with "I Am From OO" by any public data. Kaohsiung Good Day said this series also posted similar content during the pandemic, but did not show screenshots or direct links. Looking similar does not mean it is the same batch of people.
It is worth mentioning that the matter of "fake local identity" has a purer political version in Taiwan. Taiwan Democracy Lab recorded during the 2024 election, a foreign group used hundreds of fake accounts to operate lifestyle fan pages like cameras, cooking, and art; fan page names and categories were all lifestyle types, but post content only related to Taiwan politics and elections, and "all administrator locations were located overseas" 18. That was "foreign fake accounts disguising as local." "I Am From OO's" disguise layer is actually one step deeper: it is "real local entity + local media content + AI-enhanced local tone," using regional identity like "I Am From Kaohsiung" as turf, harder to dismantle than a fake cooking fan page.
Everything is Legal, That Is the Problem
The most unsettling part of "I Am From OO" is that almost every part of it is legal.
Registering a company, legal. Reposting news, legal. Using AI to generate image-text, legal. Accepting sponsor commissions, doing native advertising placement, as long as disclosing interest relationships, the Fair Trade Commission's testimonial advertising regulations cannot touch it 19. Assembling these legal parts together yields a machine impersonating fellow townsmen, unknown source, and open to sponsor placement, but you cannot find which screw is illegal.
In the past, the habitual way to talk about this situation was "governance vacuum." But in 2026, this statement needs correction, otherwise it will be caught by readers who know the law. The vacuum has already been filled in by one block. The Regulations on the Prevention and Punishment of Fraud Crimes, passed by the Legislative Yuan in 2024, commonly known as the Anti-Scam Special Law, Article 31 requires online advertising platforms to disclose "commissioning broadcaster, sponsor related information," and mark whether AI-generated images are used; Article 32 requires platforms to take down scam ads within a time limit, otherwise they bear joint liability for compensation with the sponsor 20. The Ministry of Digital Affairs has already fined Meta three times based on this law, cumulatively NT$18.5 million 20. The "scam advertising" vacuum has been patched with teeth by law.
The problem is, this law only binds "paid advertising." It can manage a paid scam ad, but cannot manage a free-operating, fellow-township-impersonating "I Am From Kaohsiung," because that is free-operating "content," outside the jurisdiction of "advertising." And the horizontal law that can truly manage "platform accountability, operator disclosure," namely the Digital Intermediary Services Act of 2022, was shelved in that year due to concerns about "internet censorship" 21, and as of 2026, it has not yet revived.

The Digital Intermediary Services Act, managing "platform accountability, operator disclosure," was shelved in the Legislative Yuan in 2022 due to controversy, and has not yet revived as of 2026; patching the vacuum is the Anti-Scam Special Law only binding "paid advertising," which cannot manage free-operating fellow-township-impersonating fan pages.

📝 Curator's Note
So the governance vacuum has not disappeared; it just shrank—from "comprehensive" to "non-paid political and emotional operation fan pages." A fan page impersonating Taiwanese, not disclosing operators, not charging you money, only wanting to influence you, falls exactly in this shrunken hole: it is not advertising, so the Anti-Scam Special Law cannot touch it; the law that manages it lies in a place no one dares to touch. Reporters' Liu Zhixin used a saying: this ecology turns "citizens in a society" into "mercenaries of the hidden hand behind the scenes," called "recruiting mercenaries" 22. The recruited may not know they are recruited; you liking and reposting may also not know who you are working for.
So, Do You Still Know Who You Are Reading?
Back to that "I Am From Taipei" post, and that forgotten instruction: "Remove sensitive words, strengthen Taiwan local colloquialism."
What this sentence truly leaked is not that a certain article faked something, but that an entire production method of manufacturing "identity" was exposed to sunlight: first erase the origin, then attach the local. After AI makes this process almost zero-cost and able to automatically evade detection, recognizing whether a news piece is true is no longer the hardest thing; it mostly reposts real news. The hardest part is recognizing its origin and financial flow: who wrote this, why do you want to see it, did someone pay for it.
And what truly protects you is never a stance—whether it is the CCP? Whether it is cognitive warfare?—because even Taiwan's most adept observers of cognitive warfare are shouting: Don't rush to put labels on it. What protects you is the ability to trace the source: ask one more question "Who is this, where is the origin, who paid for it."
That forgotten instruction was caught this time. Next time, it won't forget to delete.
