Censorship in Taiwan

The Taiwanese government generally does not censor people's speech as a matter of opinion/ personal viewpoint. The media is free to report the news as detailed as possible. However, there is still a gray area. In 2024, Taiwan considered blocking Telegram (software) due to a child pornography group using Telegram. However, the government stopped after being criticized.
