Taiwan authorities announced a one-year ban on Xiaohongshu, a Chinese social media platform with over three million users in Taiwan, ordering internet service providers to block access, citing fraud and security risks, according to reports from the Taipei Times and other sources over the past hour on December 7, 2025. The Democratic Progressive Party authorities stated the ban addresses concerns over fraudulent activities and national security threats posed by the app, as detailed in announcements covered during the reporting window from 6:46 PM to 7:47 PM UTC. Xiaohongshu, known for content on daily life and lifestyle rather than political debates, will be inaccessible in Taiwan starting from the implementation of the ISP blocks, per the Taipei Times report.
