Mirror Media's Article Criticizing Ko Wen-je for Selling Students' Personal Data to Google Triggers Massive Netizen Uproar—'A Response to Mirror Media'

This article comments on Mirror Media's criticism of Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je providing students' personal information to Google, and the subsequent netizen backlash phenomenon. The author strongly criticizes how most people abandoned rational discussion and privacy protection due to 'protective Ko sentiment,' comparing blame directed at the media to the witch-hunt behavior of 'Nazi fan mentality.' The author emphasizes the core issue: 'Why couldn't we proactively ask parents for permission,' questioning why Taipei didn't require consent forms like America. Though the author personally believes sharing data with Google won't harm individuals, they strongly oppose abandoning personal rights and surrendering body and mind to an idol—a 'cult-like' behavior.
