To combat the proliferation of scams impersonating celebrities and public figures, messaging app LINE, in collaboration with Taiwan's Ministry of Digital Affairs (MODA), began rolling out a new "Impersonated Public Figure Alert" feature on May 20. Available for LINE mobile version 26.7 and above, the function uses a "Public Figure Protection List" provided by MODA. When a user interacts with a suspicious account whose name is highly similar to someone on the list, the system will trigger a warning pop-up to alert the user.
