社群媒體之言論自由——從 Moody v. NetChoice談起

title: 社群媒體之言論自由——從 Moody v. NetChoice談起 abstract: 社群媒體已成為現代社會中主要的資訊交流場域，其透過內容節制與推薦機制所影響之資訊可見度，對言論自由與公共討論產生重要影響，並引發社群媒體內容節制行為是否構成受憲法保障之言論行為，以及國家介入平台內容治理之合憲界線等爭議。本文以美國聯邦最高法院Moody v. NetChoice所揭示之爭點切入，探討社群媒體是否具有編輯裁量及其憲法上之保護程度。本文認為，在現行美國言論自由保護體系下，以傳統媒體編輯裁量為分析基礎，難以完全回應大型社群媒體於現代資訊環境中所扮演之角色，以及其內容節制與推薦機制對公共討論所造成的影響。基此，本文採取健全民主程序說作為言論自由之討論基礎，在承認社群媒體作為私人實體，其內容節制行為原則上受言論自由保障之前提下，主張國家可以透過不干涉編輯裁量核心之內容中立規範，合理限制平台之權利。本文進一步以歐盟數位服務法為規範參考對象，比較歐盟與美國之管制取徑，並以二者之憲政文化與制度背景，分析造成不同之規範方式的理由。最後，本文認為，我國不宜直接移植外國規範模式，而應以我國言論自由保障為前提，透過透明度、救濟與程序性義務等內容中立措施，回應社群媒體所引發之言論自由問題。;Social media platforms now function as central sites of information exchange and public discourse. Through content moderation and recommendation systems, they shape the visibility of speech in ways that significantly affect freedom of expression and democratic deliberation. These practices raise fundamental constitutional questions: whether platform moderation decisions should be understood as protected speech, and how far the state may go in regulating platform governance without violating constitutional guarantees. This Article examines these questions through the lens of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Moody v. NetChoice. It argues that prevailing First Amendment doctrine—largely grounded in the editorial discretion of traditional media—does not fully capture the role played by dominant social media platforms in the contemporary information environment, nor the effects of algorithmic moderation on public discourse. Building on a democratic-process–oriented account of free speech, this Article maintains that social media platforms remain private actors whose moderation decisions are, in principle, entitled to constitutional protection. At the same time, it contends that the state may adopt content-neutral regulatory measures that respect the core of editorial discretion while addressing the systemic risks posed by platform governance. Drawing on the EU Digital Services Act as a comparative reference point, the Article shows that the regulatory divergence between the European Union and the United States reflects deeper differences in constitutional culture and institutional design. Against this comparative background, it argues that Taiwan should not directly transplant either model. Instead, consistent with Taiwan’s commitment to freedom of expression, regulatory efforts should focus on content-neutral, procedural mechanisms—such as transparency requirements, remedial frameworks, and procedural obligations—to respond to the free-speech challenges generated by social media governance.

人工智慧協作創作之著作權保護問題研究

title: 人工智慧協作創作之著作權保護問題研究 abstract: 本論文以生成式人工智慧在創作實務中的應用為出發點，探討現行著作權制度在面對AI協助創作時所產生之法律定位與制度挑戰。隨著生成式AI已廣泛被創作者作為創作工具使用，現行以人類著作人原則為核心的著作權制度，逐漸面臨是否承認、以及如何承認AI協作創作成果之保護問題。本文首先整理著作權法中關於作者、原創性與創作主體之基本理論，並回顧人工智慧出現前，司法實務與學說對非人類創作之處理共識，作為後續分析之基礎。其次，透過美國近年涉及人工智慧創作之重要案例與著作權局實務，包括A Recent Entrance to Paradise、Zarya of the Dawn、Théâtre D’opéra Spatial與SURYAST等案，分析現行實務對AI生成內容所採取之審查標準與其侷限。本文主張，生成式人工智慧應定位為創作輔助工具，而非獨立創作主體。在使用者對創作過程與最終成果具有實質創作控制與原創性參與之前提下，人工智慧協作創作之作品不應僅因技術介入即被一概排除於著作權保護之外。為回應實務判斷困難，本文進一步提出以創作參與與控制為核心之判斷架構，作為認定使用者是否具備著作人地位之參考標準。最後，本文比較各國制度對人工智慧協作創作之回應，並反思我國現行著作權制度之適用可能性，認為在不另立新權利制度之前提下，透過行政指引與實務判準之補充，仍可回應生成式人工智慧創作所帶來之挑戰，兼顧創作自由、制度安定性與著作權法之立法目的。 ;This thesis examines the legal status and regulatory challenges of copyright protection for works created with the assistance of generative artificial intelligence. As generative AI has increasingly been adopted by creators as a creative tool, copyright systems grounded in the principle of human authorship are confronted with growing uncertainty regarding whether, and under what conditions, AI-assisted works should be protected. The thesis first reviews foundational copyright doctrines concerning authorship, originality, and creative subjectivity, and surveys pre-AI judicial and scholarly approaches to non-human creation as a baseline for analysis. It then analyzes recent U.S. copyright practice and administrative decisions involving AI-generated content, including A Recent Entrance to Paradise, Zarya of the Dawn, Théâtre D’opéra Spatial, and SURYAST, to identify prevailing evaluative standards and their practical limitations in addressing human–AI collaborative creation. This thesis argues that generative AI should be understood as a creative assistive tool rather than an independent author. Where a human user exercises substantive creative control and makes original contributions throughout the creative process and to the final output, the resulting work should not be categorically excluded from copyright protection solely due to the involvement of AI technology. To address the difficulties faced in current practice, this thesis proposes a participation- and control-based analytical framework for assessing human authorship in AI-assisted works. Finally, through a comparative review of international approaches to AI-assisted creation, this thesis evaluates the implications for Taiwan’s copyright system. It concludes that, without establishing a new sui generis right, existing copyright law can accommodate generative AI-assisted creation through the development of administrative guidelines and refined evaluative standards, thereby preserving creative freedom, legal certainty, and the fundamental objectives of copyright law.

家族滲透度與公司表現及價值穩定性之關聯性;Stability of Firm Performance and Value under Family Penetration

title: 家族滲透度與公司表現及價值穩定性之關聯性;Stability of Firm Performance and Value under Family Penetration abstract: 本文利用實務面的方式衡量2013-2022年台灣上市公司之親屬連結比率，探討家族成員在單一公司的滲透度對於公司績效表現波動度的影響。基準 OLS 估計結果顯示，較高的親屬連結比率與月度股票報酬率波動及公司價值波動呈現負相關，但對資產報酬率（ROA）波動沒有一致的影響，僅在 t+3期時出現例外。然而，進一步針對內生性問題的分析顯示，在 OLS 下觀察到的公司價值波動與親屬連結比率之間的負向關聯性，並未具有一致性的持續效果，反而在採用其他處理內生性的方法後轉為不顯著。相較之下，營運績效波動的估計結果則對方法的選擇較為敏感。額外的穩健性檢驗則以不同分位數的相對連結比率建立虛擬變數，確認研究發現並非由特定臨界值所驅動。;This study empirically measures the kinship-based relative links ratio of publicly listed companies in Taiwan from 2013 to 2022 and examines the effect of family member penetration within a single firm on the volatility of firm performance and value. Baseline OLS estimations indicate a higher relative links ratio is associated with lower volatility of monthly stock returns and firm value but has no consistent effect on the volatility of return on assets (ROA), except during the t+3 period. However, further analyses addressing potential endogeneity show that the negative association with firm value volatility observed under OLS does not consistently persist and instead becomes statistically insignificant once alternative endogeneity-addressing methods are applied. In contrast, the estimated effects on operational performance volatility are sensitive to the choice of method. Additional robustness checks construct dummy variables based on different percentiles of the relative links ratio confirm that the findings are not driven by specific cutoff definitions.

COVID-19疫情對房價之影響－以臺灣六都為例;The Impact of the COVID-19 on Housing Prices: Evidence from Taiwan’s Six Special Municipalities.

title: COVID-19疫情對房價之影響－以臺灣六都為例;The Impact of the COVID-19 on Housing Prices: Evidence from Taiwan’s Six Special Municipalities. abstract: 本研究旨在探討COVID-19疫情對臺灣六都房價之影響。隨著疫情自西元2019年末爆發以來，對全球經濟活動與民眾生活型態造成重大衝擊，筆者試圖研究此重大公共衛生事件是否改變國內房地產市場之價格。研究採用2016年至2023年之不動產實價登錄資料，結合疫情確診數、消費者信心指數與房貸利率等總體經濟指標，建構特徵價格之迴歸模型進行實證分析。依據實證結果顯示，雖然疫情相關變數如「新增確診人數」與「月增減變化」在統計上達顯著水準，但其對房價之經濟影響極為有限，顯示臺灣房地產市場具備高度韌性。相較之下，消費者信心對房價呈現顯著正向影響，顯示經濟預期與資金成本仍為房價波動主要驅動因素。此外，屋齡、樓層、建材結構與附加設施（如電梯、車位、管委會等）對房價亦具顯著影響，顯示住宅格局等特徵仍為購屋者決策重要依據。綜上，本研究指出疫情雖造成短期社會與經濟干擾，惟臺灣六都房價未受重大負面衝擊，反映出市場之結構性強韌與支撐力道。本研究成果可供未來研究面對類似危機事件時之政策設計與市場行為判斷參考。;This study examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on housing prices in Taiwan’s six special municipalities. Using real transaction data from 2016 to 2023 and incorporating macroeconomic indicators—including confirmed case counts, consumer confidence, and mortgage rates—a hedonic pricing model is constructed for empirical analysis. Results show that while pandemic-related variables are statistically significant, their economic impact on housing prices is limited, indicating strong market resilience. In contrast, consumer confidence and housing attributes such as building age, floor level, and amenities play a more substantial role. These findings highlight the robustness of Taiwan’s housing market and offer insights for policy responses to future crises.
