In the status of Cyprus, change "Fictional" status to "Illegal" as possession of fictional pornography is illegal.

Legalization of fictional child pornography in Taiwan

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

In the status of Taiwan, please

1. Change "Fictional" status to "Legal"

2. Change "Possession" status to "Legal; fictional only"

3. In "Short summary" section: Change `The law doesn't explicitly include "simulated images".[150]` to `Fictional child pornography, with the exception of creations depicting real people or realistic images generated by AI, are excluded from the "Child and Youth Sexual Exploitation Prevention Act".[150]`

4. Replace source [150] with "https://join.gov.tw/idea/detail/233df5b7-cbb8-4ffc-b8fb-5279ef84823a"

More details:

The current article mentions that the law is ambiguous, which just changed recently. An executive letter (Official Correspondence No. 1130014287 from the Ministry of Health and Welfare^[1]) published on 14th of May, 2024 following a meeting between the legislative, judicial, and general public clarified that the ambiguous portion of the "Child and Youth Sexual Exploitation Prevention Act" did not intend to limit freedom of expression but rather protect real children, thus the document interprets and limits the law from affecting fictional art (with the exceptions mentioned above). Also, source [150] is a dead link, though it is no longer needed after this change is applied. The same set of changes has been applied to the Chinese version of this page.

  Images of child pornography are not protected under First Amendment rights, and are illegal contraband under federal law. Section 2256 of Title 18, United States Code, defines child pornography as any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct involving a minor (someone under 18 years of age).  Visual depictions include photographs, videos, digital or computer generated images indistinguishable from an actual minor, and images created, adapted, or modified, but appear to depict an identifiable, actual minor.

https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/codes/article_lc/LEGIARTI000043409170

so reference 191 should be replaced by the provided link reference 192 is garbage and should be removed since it talk about a new rules for ISP to remove some content and don't talk about what is child porn Thesweetiger (talk) 13:09, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
