On the day of the accident, Lin Zhiying's facial close-up after the car accident was "flying all over the sky". Some netizens on the island shared the picture of her face with blood and Jenson's fright on social media, which may violate the relevant personal data protection law in Taiwan.
However, Lin Zhiying's family did not pursue it, believing that if she was concerned, she would be chaotic, saying that "they are all saviours and will not be angry."
Regarding the incident, Lin Zhixin said at the press conference that he urges everyone not to speculate and carefully filter false remarks, otherwise it will cause more harm to Lin Zhiying and her family.
