A male Taiwanese Youtuber, suspected of creating and selling deepfake videos
featuring over 100 famous politicians and influencers, was released on bail
on Monday, after being arrested the previous day.

Chu Yu-chen, 26, who goes by the moniker Xiaoyu on Youtube, was arrested
Sunday, at a rental in New Taipei, along with two suspected accomplices.

On Monday, the three suspects were escorted to the New Taipei District
Prosecutors Office for further questioning, on suspicion of distributing
obscene videos and publicly insulting others, which violates Taiwan's
Criminal Code.

And many of the victims say they will be pressing charges.

Justice Minister Tsai Ching-hsiang says his ministry has begun to draft
amendments to existing laws to prevent this from happening in the future, and
hopes to submit them to the Legislature within a month.
