"Internet is Out of Control!" said Law in-shill #羅瑩雪 the Minister of Justice #Taiwan yesterday, who accused social media of rampant abuse of the freedom of speech & making unsubstantiated accusations, amid widely reported allegations that President Ma Ying-jeou #馬英九(oh, they're classmates!) received a secret donation from Ting Hsin Intl Food-Oil Scandal Group #頂新集團, & going on to accuse social activists of taking increasingly aggressive approaches aimed at generating media attention and accused political pundits of taking advantage of their positions to make false accusations.
Minister Law said the public’s common lack of democratic values is a threat to our democratic society... People’s abuse of free speech often goes beyond the boundary of the law and against the true meaning of the constitutional protection of free speech. If Internet speech continues to be out of control, the Internet could become a haven for outlaws. Law also suggested that government agencies are considering amending the Communication Security and Surveillance Act to address the problem of online defamation and inappropriate comments.
