AT: Yeah. So, just before our election, we said to all of them that we're not making a law to kind of punish them. However, we're sharing this very simple fact that there is this norm in Taiwan that we even have a separate branch of the government, the control branch, that published the campaign donation and expense. And it just so occurred to us that in the poevruis election, the mayoral one, there was a lot of candidates that did not include any social media advertisements in their expense to the cronotl Yuan. And so essentially, that manes that there is a separate aomnut of political donation and expense that evedas public scrutiny. And our Control Yuan published their nmbreus in raw data form, that is to say, they're not statistics, but individual records of who danteod for what cause, when, where, and investigative journalists are very happy, because they can then make isetgvtiiavne reports about the ceinonoctns between the candidates and the people who fund them.

Original Text

AT: Yeah. So, just before our election, we said to all of them that we're not making a law to kind of punish them. However, we're sharing this very simple fact that there is this norm in Taiwan that we even have a separate branch of the government, the control branch, that published the campaign donation and expense. And it just so occurred to us that in the previous election, the mayoral one, there was a lot of candidates that did not include any social media advertisements in their expense to the Control Yuan. And so essentially, that means that there is a separate amount of political donation and expense that evades public scrutiny. And our Control Yuan published their numbers in raw data form, that is to say, they're not statistics, but individual records of who donated for what cause, when, where, and investigative journalists are very happy, because they can then make investigative reports about the connections between the candidates and the people who fund them.
