“Crimes “Beyond Borders”: Can Taiwan Contain the “Innovative Hideout” of “Telegram + Cryptocurrency + Overseas Websites”?”

Recently, the Ministry of Health and Welfare has faced pressure from the public regarding the delayed action against the closed child exploitation website “Creative Private Room”. The legislators pointed out that, according to existing laws, the Ministry of Health and Welfare already has sufficient authority to remove or restrict harmful webpages. However, the department’s actions seem to be limited by implementation regulations. Today, Minister of Health and Welfare, Shiu Ruey-yuan, promised to take immediate action and directly requested the closure of the website from the Ministry of Digital Development this afternoon.
