Of course, this is not to say we don’t have any content-based laws; laws against content like child sexual abuse material still exist. What I mean is that in many of our laws, like the Anti-Fraud Special Act, we only encourage platform operators to restrict illegal “behaviors,” such as fraud. The focus is always on the behavioral level. If the behavior is illegal, it will of course be restricted. But as you can see, we’re talking about “actors” (e.g., impersonation) or “illegal behaviors,” not the “content level.” In Taiwan, the content level is almost secondary.
