No job finding website made by individuals allowed in Taiwan : author has to be a 30-persons association or a company.

I was recently planning to create a website to help job seekers and companies to meet each other in a more convenient way than by using the existing websites. A friend of mine found that there is a regulation in Taiwan about this kind of activity, even if it is done for free and without being a kind of agent between the involved parties. Apparently, a permission is required for the website, and the permission has to be requested by either a registered Taiwanese company or a registered organization made of at least 30 persons.
As I am sure that it didn't occur to the regulators that some individuals which do not belong to either of those 2 categories would be willing to made such a website for free and with the general interest in mind, I would like to ask you what can be done to inform the regulators about how limiting this regulation is, and I would like to ask if it is possible to suggest a change of this regulation to allow non-agent individuals to write such websites for non-profit purpose.
My friend asked a confirmation from the Labor Office, and this is their answer :
