Since entering summer on July 4th, Taiwan has been experiencing continuous high temperatures with cases of heatstroke and heat exhaustion. This year's summer feels even hotter than usual, with temperatures soaring up to 43 degrees Celsius and UV levels reaching dangerous levels. Zheng Mingdian, the former director of the Central Weather Bureau, attributed the extreme heat to higher than average sea temperatures surrounding Taiwan, weakening sea breezes' cooling effect coupled with a strong Pacific high-pressure system. Zheng advises people to take precautions, avoid prolonged sun exposure, use sunscreen, stay hydrated, and seek medical help if necessary. It's important for the public to protect themselves from the intense summer heat.

Investigators and experts suggest it's challenging to determine the extent of child sexual abuse material on OnlyFans due to individual paywalls for its 3.2 million creators. While OnlyFans voluntarily reports any suspected child abuse material and made 347 CyberTipline reports in 2023, verifying the actual amount of such material independently is difficult. Police typically can't access content behind paywalls without OnlyFans' assistance, and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) only has limited access to reported accounts. OnlyFans appointed an independent monitor in 2021, Michael Ward, but had no comment on his role when contacted by Reuters.
