Analysis of Human Flesh Search in the Taiwanese Context

Human flesh search (HFS) is a recent internet phenomenon. Majority of the academic studies on HFS are in the Chinese context. Many HFS incidents have been reported locally but have been difficult to access by the international community. To resolve this issue and to supplement existing HFS reviews by Chen and Sharma [1], the current study provides a brief HFS analysis in the Taiwanese context with three additional research directions. Together with the reviews of Chen and Sharma [1], and of Chao [2], a comprehensive knowledge of HFS is obtained and can be a useful reference framework for future HFS research and policymaking.
