[Reporter Xu Ziling/Taipei Report] Chinese short video platforms Douyin and TikTok (international version) have recently attracted attention due to information security issues. Digital Development Minister Tang Fengjin (20th) said that whether the ban on Douyin will be extended to the private sector will be decided by the Executive Yuan on the 26th. Held an information security conference report discussion; the Digital Department will let the public fully understand the dangers of using Douyin, "everyone can judge for themselves after understanding."

Douyin has doubts about sending personal information back to China, and the CCP has invested in Douyin in the name of CCTV, and Douyin may become a state-controlled platform.

Executive Premier Su Zhenchang recently instructed Political Councilor Luo Bingcheng to form an inter-ministerial task force to propose countermeasures and understand the effectiveness of India's legislation to control Douyin. It is expected to submit a report to the Information Security Conference of the Executive Yuan to be held at the end of the month.

Tang Feng attended the media tea ceremony of the Ministry of Digital Affairs today and said that on the issue of Douyin, the government launched the "Principle of Restricting the Use of Products that Endanger National Information Security by Various Agencies" in 2019. The purpose of proposing this principle at that time was to hope that the public sector would understand , Regardless of whether these products currently have security vulnerabilities, their control is in the hands of forces that may endanger information security. The absence of vulnerabilities in the current version does not mean that the next version will not.

Tang Feng emphasized that the Digital Department will first promote any software services that may endanger national information security for the public sector, and fully explain to all walks of life. I hope that all walks of life can know the two major doubts that will be caused by using Douyin, including: personal data may be sent back The dominance of China and software updates must be used by the public after fully understanding these hazards. I believe everyone can judge for themselves after understanding.

As for whether the Douyin ban has been extended to the private sector?

Tang Feng pointed out that according to the current information security management law, the government can only take measures against the public sector and key infrastructure. If it wants to expand to the private sector, “social consensus must be obtained.” The information security conference report on December 26 will discuss.
