Apple daily too violent?


On the website of the Apple Daily, the most popular newspaper in Taiwan, you can daily watch videos and photos of events, such as students who beat each other up just for fun or boys photographing girls in all kinds of circumstances. One of those clips was a clip of Tiger Woods which started a debate over media freedoms and responsibility and government regulation.

Groups who are concerned about the welfare of children already protested outside the offices of Apple Daily's. The Taiwanese government wants to prevent the irresponsible new media products to harm the youth. They want to restrain the often sensational and violent content. Apple Daily's has been already fined $30.000. The government want to regulate the Web animations by opening 5 TV stations in Taiwan to help produce action news in amore secure way.
