Bill on Telecommunication Act

Document type
Proposed Law
Country
A telecommunications enterprise is required to remove content if an "administrative agency" (not a court) in authority deems that the content violate a law or regulation, such as copyright or defamation law, and the removal is technically possible (paragraph 2 of article 9). The bill was temporally shelved in 2013 due to the controversy, but it is likely the bill will be sent to the Legislature Yuan again with some revision in the future.
