網安問題日趨嚴重！台灣展翅協會Web547網路檢舉熱線去年接獲7860件檢舉案，比前年成長60％，其中高達88％是兒少可取得、未分級的限制級成人色情，40％更涉及媒介性交易、販賣色情光碟、販賣毒品等違法內容。
展翅協會秘書長李麗芬昨指出，臉書（facebook）儼然成為成人色情的最大平台。前年熱線接獲22件檢舉，去年高達232件，一年攀升10倍！內容為媒介性交易及未分級成人色情訊息，youtube未分級成人色情遭檢舉案量亦成長3倍。
李麗芬指，去年首度出現檢舉「文愛」案件，提供即時成人文字互動服務，充斥鹹濕對話。另有成人網提供APP下載，若未分級，孩子恐輕易參與其中。
展翅呼籲「孩子愛低頭，父母要抬頭！」台灣微軟提供免費設定允許及封鎖使用的網站、顯示年齡或內容分級的應用程式和遊戲，及允許使用電腦的時間。
