The Taiwan FactCheck Center reported an increase in online rumors regarding energy and power, questioning Taiwan's solar power policy and implying small animals causing power outages, along with heightened discussions on national defense due to the upcoming Han Guang Exercise, and rumors related to the upcoming Paris Olympics. Three main types of rumors to watch include: misinformation about military exercises, false claims about Taiwan's defense against Chinese aircraft, and misconceptions about solar power policies and power outages. Notable rumors involve distorted facts and misleading videos, like a false claim of toxic waste affecting fish ponds at a solar facility and a video of monkeys climbing power lines falsely attributed to Taiwan Power Company.
