Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) lawmaker Lin Dai-hua has called for stricter regulations targeting TikTok and other foreign platforms, following the circulation of deepfake videos targeting DPP politicians, Focus Taiwan (CNA) reported. Lin proposed amending Taiwan's Anti-Infiltration Act to compel foreign-based platforms deemed a potential national security threat to establish local offices in Taiwan.

Under Lin's proposal, platforms failing to meet the requirement by the designated deadline could face access restrictions. Taiwan's security agencies would have the authority to instruct internet service providers to block such platforms. Lin emphasised that these measures would align Taiwan's digital regulations with those in Europe and the United States, ensuring better protection against foreign interference.
