Wang, Po-Chi associate professor was interviewed by the Free Times on June 7: Internet blocked pornography scholars: real name verification should be adopted Regarding the rise of the local A-film trend, Associate Professor Wang Boqi of the Department of Crime Prevention of Ming Chuan University believes that Taiwan is affected by the Japanese culture and the current laws cannot be fully regulated. The public authorities must also call for "self-discipline". The current unmanageable situation needs to be kept up to date. Into. Wang, Po-Chi said that at present, family education is very important. To instill the correct values of the younger generation, school education must also strengthen the inculcation of correct knowledge. In this era of information explosion and openness, relying on correct values and knowledge to resist pornography, violence and the temptation of money is the fundamental guide. Wang, Po-Chi pointed out that portals such as restricted-level live broadcast platforms and websites will ask users "whether they are over 18 years of age", but this has long been reduced to the user's free testimony, circumventing legal responsibility in form, if there is a way to implement some form of "real name system" Or a similar verification mechanism would be a better practice. In the early years, the Taiwan-made AV "Taiwan Hydropower", which caused a sensation in Taiwan, eventually ate a lawsuit that hindered weathering. However, the interests of publishers and distribution platforms have been obtained, and the law is not binding on "vested interests". One-to-many blatant obscenity in live sex Taiwan’s erotic industry has recently undergone transformation, and many self-employed individuals have used live sex videos to get viewers to fight (reward) and share the market’s cakes. Local Taiwanese sister videos are circulating on the Internet. Weng Weilun, a lawyer who once served as a prosecutor, reminded that these videos are obscene articles, and if they are not properly isolated, they may be guilty of the crime of spreading obscene articles and the Child and Youth Welfare and Rights Protection Law. Weng Weilun pointed out that if the live broadcaster performs sexual intercourse and other acts in one-to-one cyberspace, there is no problem of breaking the law. However, if he engages in sexual transactions through live broadcasts, he violates the law of social order maintenance, and prostitutes are punished. In addition, the website does not have proper isolation measures, is easy for minors to accidentally touch, and also violates the law. As for the industry to solicit amateurs for making obscene films, Weng Weilun said that if there is no rape and coercion, there will be no problem of solicitation, and the problem will be the “shooting location”. If you choose a public place where unspecified people can see and hear (such as Da Ma Road), not only practitioners and male and female protagonists, but also photographers, assistants, lighting engineers, etc., have all committed the crime of blatant indecent assault, with a maximum penalty of one year in prison. As for whether it is illegal to get paid for viewing on the Internet, it depends on whether appropriate isolation measures have been taken to screen out underage netizens. If the website does not do the isolation measures, in addition to those who put the video on the Internet, the industry will be punished. Knowing that filming is to make a profit, it will be used as an accomplice. If netizens forward these videos arbitrarily, they should also pay attention to "where", Weng Weilun explained, if only to individual friends, point-to-point transmission, without committing the problem of spreading obscene; if it is transmitted to "groups", how many People may be identified as public spaces and have doubts about breaking the law. Wang Lingzi, a lawyer who used to be a prosecutor, said that the live broadcaster "one-to-many" shows indecent behavior, even if it is paid, it may still be a crime of blatant indecent assault. In addition, if netizens watch copyrighted adult movies, but transcribe them for forwarding, they may also be in violation of copyright laws.
