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.[1] However, there is still a gray area. In 2024, Taiwan considered blocking Telegram (software) due to a child pornography group using Telegram.[2] However, the government stopped after being criticized.
Chronology of key events

Since December 2022, the installation of Douyin and TikTok on goernment devices has been banned.[5][6]
In February 2025, Taiwan asked the government personnel not to use DeepSeek.[7]
