Controversy On March 7, 2025, Uniform Map was discovered to have misappropriated a large number of photos of female students. On March 8, Uniform Map issued an announcement stating that unauthorized accounts had uploaded the misappropriated photos without consent; the website had deleted the photos and apologized to those affected. The website is currently closed. On March 8, the Criminal Police Corps of the New Taipei City Police Department summoned the website's founder, Jiang Shun-chih, for questioning. On March 9, the case was transferred to the New Taipei District Prosecutors Office for investigation on suspicion of offenses against public morality, violations of the Copyright Act, and the Personal Data Protection Act.
Jiang Shun-chih accepted an interview with BBC News Chinese, stating that the photos on Uniform Map primarily came from user submissions and that the website did not have a moderation mechanism. In the past, if a subject requested the removal of a photo, he would handle it immediately, so he was unaware of the potential risks. He admitted to "major negligence" regarding copyright and portrait rights and stated that he had paid less attention to Uniform Map in recent years, not expecting the matter to spark such controversy. He revealed that before Uniform Map closed, it had over 100,000 members and about 90,000 photos on the site, but uploaders could choose not to provide source information, making the origin of some photos unclear. He emphasized that the original design of Uniform Map was "to facilitate the recording of school uniforms" and did not consider the potential infringement of personal privacy.
On March 10, Jiang Shun-chih published a statement on his personal blog under the online alias "Red Reaper." In the article, he reviewed the original intention of founding Uniform Map, emphasizing that early photos came from public sources and that he subsequently obtained authorization and established a mechanism for photo removal. He believed that this incident might have been caused by malicious uploads of controversial content, which led to intensified community criticism and evolved into personal attacks. Facing outside accusations, he denied the relevant charges and stated that he was being smeared by false public opinion online. Ultimately, he decided to permanently close Uniform Map and apologized to the affected individuals and schools.
In addition, Jiang Shun-chih wrote his master's thesis using Uniform Map as the subject, which further triggered a controversy regarding academic ethics. Since the research involved unauthorized photos of minor students, the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China sent a letter to the National Taipei University of Education requesting an investigation into whether the thesis complied with academic standards. According to Jiang Shun-chih, he received notification on November 20 that both the ethics review committee and the Ministry of Education had recognized the thesis as having no issues.
On March 13, the Education and Culture Committee of the Legislative Yuan reviewed the draft of the "Youth Basic Law," and several legislators focused on the controversies related to Uniform Map. Democratic Progressive Party legislator Chen Hsiu-pao stated that the Ministry of Education should require local governments to conduct follow-up tracking and provide appropriate relief channels for victimized students. Deputy Minister of Education Ye Ping-cheng stated that any research involving the information of others must undergo formal application and review.。
On June 25, Jiang Shun-chih received a notice of non-prosecution regarding the Uniform Map incident.
On October 25, Jiang Shun-chih announced in a post on his personal blog under the alias "Red Reaper" that Uniform Map was back online, but the overall code had been completely rewritten and rebuilt using the Laravel framework. The article pointed out that original images might involve facial recognition and privacy issues, so Uniform Map would process them using artificial intelligence technology. At the same time, Uniform Map would no longer provide image hosting functions, shifting instead toward a "historical record and uniform encyclopedia" direction to reduce hosting space and operational cost pressures. Furthermore, Jiang Shun-chih expressed his views on the past controversies of Uniform Map and emphasized that he would file lawsuits against those spreading false information.
