★ US Naval Institute , May, 2022
(usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2022/may/preparing-post-invasion-taiwan-insurgency): Taiwan has extensive networks of closed-circuit TV cameras, and issued a national health insurance smartcard that tracks medical histories. In 2020, the ROC government used sophisticated social monitoring tools in its successful efforts to limit the spread of COVID-19 in Taiwan, such as the geofencing of cell phones. Already in pre-pandemic 2018, its legislature had held hearings about digital privacy after a human-rights advocacy group report alleged massive collection of online and cell-phone data by security services and police agencies.

SPOTLIGHT ON TAIWAN
there are continuing concerns over official collection of information
regarding people’s pandemic-era movements: specifically, smartphone-related
software used to track individuals and hence infection transmission chains via
contact tracing, and the potential centralization of databases containing
official information on individual health and travel history. Responding to
these concerns,... GOV. stated that all
information would be kept confidential and deleted after 28 days...
★ Apple Daily (蘋果日報) , 2021-4-26 : Japan and Korea already established a specific institution fully responsible for protection of personal data a long time ago, but Taiwanese government reneged its promise, and put digital industry development ahead of protection of personal data and privacy.

◆
The China Times,
7-3-2017: Taiwan's regulations for patients' privacy is
almost no legal effect, hospitals don't take it serious.
e.g., a 30 years old female patient
was hospitalized
in a
very famous hospital
榮總,
after she striped
her clothes for MD's diagnosis,
more than 10 male
and female physicians came in, one student (probably intern)
took picture by cell phone, the patient can't stand all
these and burst out crying .....

Leaking
patients' medical records is a normal social behaviour in Taiwan
-
In Taiwan, journalists are not used to
respect patients' privacy... our
hospitals' members do not know very
clearly the principle of protecting
patients' privacy...(黃達夫)
◆
Apple Daily (3-5-2017): A large hospital's
nurse took a picture of the patient without any permission
during brain operation
in surgical suite
and then spread that photo through
Instagram. That nurse also remarked "It's so exciting
to see human's brain!".
★★
Some legal experts and politicians alleged the Ministry of Justice was not sufficiently independent, claiming that ministry authorities conducted politically motivated investigations of politicians.
Taiwanese authorities illegally wiretapped lawmakers of both the ruling Kuomintang and the DPP during an investigation that led to a KMT attempt to revoke Legislative Yuan Speaker Wang Jin-pyng’s (王金平) party membership. The high-profile case of Wang's alleged intervention in a legal case on behalf of opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) caucus whip Ker Chien-ming (柯建銘).

"Wiretapping, China Policy Fuel Taiwan Protesters' Discontent" As with Edward Snowden’s revelation of extensive wiretapping in the U.S., the incident has raised fears of state invasion of privacy in Taiwan. It has also stirred up bitter memories of the island’s era of martial law under the KMT that lasted from 1949 until 1987, during which dissent was not tolerated. |

Taiwan's prosecutors (or
even police , investigation units) by themselves approve and issue approval of
application for retrieval of communication records, without Taiwan judges'

Taiwan's judiciary practice makes no difference between "judge for
investigation" and "judge for judgment"... so Taiwan's Judiciary Yuan fails to
reach the basic :
to evade/side step the issue of dividing
applications (「分案迴避」), e.g.,
those judges during investigation proceedings approve detention of accused, will
they think the accused is innocent during judiciary proceedings?
.... Taiwan judges fail to reach the goal of professional
quality and
neutrality ...!wiretapping harms the
most Taiwanese privacy, but till now Taiwan fails to send a formal notice to
those people being listened... Taiwanese people won't know being listened until they were
prosecuted, as for those people not being indicted, they will never know about

legal case had already been closed, or the prosecutors may
wiretap on a specific person and by the way listen other people in the

Dr. Lin : Still under attack from "electromagnetic waves"
<Apple Daily>: National Taiwan University professor Lin Ruey-shiung expressed in Video Land TV yesterday that Taiwan's presidential election already passed 3 weeks, but I still feel "electromagnetic waves" in my home, Taiwan's government should not do that to me anymore ... ( Chinese article:「選後至今已3周,但我回淡水老家,仍感到電磁波干擾,都選完了,我沒威脅性啊,馬政府不應再針對我。」)
<the China Times> : reported about the same as above
(Chinese article:
「都選完了,不應該再針對我,如果是屬下疏忽忘記移除儀器,那請快移除,但如果是刻意干擾,我沒威脅性啊!可以撤掉了啦!」 )
ps: <the China Times> of Dec. 2, 2011: Dr. Lin expressed he has
"document" evidence to prove to be under attack from "electromagnetic
waves", and will show doc. to public after the election.
― But, till now Feb. 7, 2012
he didn't do it.
★ <Washington Post>, <Associated Press>
Taiwan presidential race darkened by charges of intelligence service monitoring of challenger.
★ TVBS Sept. 3, 2010
Taiwanese (non-governmental civilian) have been suspecting (doubt) for a long time whether or not the National Police Agency of Ministry of the Interior listened/watched (illegally) Taiwanese people ...
The Legislative
Yuan ( functioning similar to US's senators or
congressmen) sooner or later will request "in large scale"
(1) the National Police Agency of Ministry of the
Interior (警政署)
(2) Investigation Bureau, Ministry of Justice (調查局)
(3) Coast Guard Administration (海巡署)
(4) Bureau of Military Intelligence (軍情局) as well
to turn in all related documents/papers
, if they are "really big", just wash out all dirty records they had
done, but in this way they are making bigger mistakes and crimes
......
Who will admit those dirty jobs they have done!?
Is there any case that officials on the surface do watching/monitoring, but behind the situation revenge someone ? TVBS host-star said "Yes".
I am wondering if 10 out of 100 officials have been doing these ... ? President Ma declared there will be no more illegal listening , but, had he ordered someone to investigate this issue ?
President Ma was
wiretapped when President Chen in power years ago.

▼
Now days political listening is
done by "decode" (deciper) way,
different from those by "lines"
in earlier days...
▼ It
is more difficult to eavesdrop
communication by Skype phones,
but still can be done.
▼ Some
DPP politicians use "special"
cell phones instead to protect
themselves...

Taipei Court house |
The reporter does not know she had been listened by Taiwan's government (國安局) for nearly a year (Feb. 2008 ~ Jan. 2009), until Taiwan's supreme court noticed that by official document . The reporter declared government can not prove she harmed national security (she reported former president Chen's news), but they harmed freedom of press & personal privacy, it's a sort of "white terror". She will bring a further sue on this legal case. |
In spite of violating personal privacy, but it's not illegal. |

Taiwan collects citizens' data without any regulation
(1) <Computer-processed Personal Data Protection Law> has not been modified to a good version for a long time.(2) Taiwanese privacy status just like <1984> ( a world famous literature ).
