At the beginning of the year, iWIN Network Content Protection Agency notified online platforms to remove virtual creative content on suspicion of violating the “The Protection of Children and Youths Welfare and Rights Act” and “Child and Youth Sexual Exploitation Prevention Act”, and reported to the police for filing a case to notify relevant personnel, sparking a heated discussion among netizens. Regarding this, Wang Boqi, associate Professor of the Department of Criminology at Ming Chuan University, stated that the content of the letter from the Ministry of Health and Welfare is not specific enough. It is necessary to discuss the details of the legal provisions or related supporting measures in depth. The government is pleased to invite industry groups, publishers, and experts and scholars to discuss and negotiate together, in order to achieve a balance between creative freedom and children’s rights.
After coordinating with legislators, the Ministry of Justice, and ACGN related groups in April, the Ministry of Health and Welfare issued a letter in May explaining three principles of judgment. One of them was that “sexual images related to children and adolescents, pornographic images drawn from real people, and AI generated realistic pornographic images should be handled in accordance with the regulations on “Child and Youth Sexual Exploitation Prevention Act”.” The controversy was originally believed to have come to an end, but now some netizens have reposted news and become defendants, causing another huge uproar.
