I am a user from Taiwan we need freedom of speech
Hi Twitch, I'm from the Republic of China (ROC) you commonly call "Taiwan". Recently, your censorship of Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese makes me very angry. I know you have to filter the corresponding text, But it is by no means such a dictatorial regime's speech policy as what you commonly call the "China" Communist Party of China (CCP).
"China is not the only one who uses Chinese in this world."
"What you are doing now is like China's literary prison."
Maybe the world shouldn't use hate speech or words to attack each other, but Taiwan has long been, and even still is, living in fear under the Chinese Communist Party's literary attack and martial arts.
Besides, "Twitch cannot be used in China at all". What you should protect are Taiwanese users who have been using Twitch for a long time. You should give us back the freedom of speech we deserve, instead of using authoritarian and hegemonic text policies to protect China.
To sum up, I have a few requests
Twitch should not help the evildoers. Twitch should not use "autoban" to protect the dictatorship. Users of "Traditional Chinese" should decide whether to install it or not.
It is extremely unreasonable for the live broadcast host to be "BAN" for the audience's behavior in the chat room. We demand that this weird system be abolished.
Whoever set up the censorship in the speech censorship system currently used by Twitch should thoroughly investigate his identity, whether there is any hatred of Taiwan, and return users to a safe and secure environment.
Sex-related speech is a witty way of use among traditional Chinese users. It should not be directly banned by the Twtich system, and each live broadcaster should decide for himself
Above, I love the Twitch platform very much, and I hope you can hear the real voice.

The reason for the punishment is public or private chat messages, but I have not used any violations of the rules, and my account will be gone as soon as I wake up

繁體中文族群正在遭受不合理的言論管控導致溝通嚴重受限,甚至私訊都會有被永Ban的風險,不單涉及種族歧視,甚至嚴重損害繁體中文族群的消費者權益,將會對美國法院提起訴願,希望官方可以重視這個問題

Twitch's automated moderation system for moderating speech has been a source of controversy due to its inconsistent standards for different languages, its vague decision-making process, and its lack of transparency. In recent times, the system's erratic operation has led to the banning of many seasoned and high-value users, causing a great deal of anxiety and panic among the platform's Chinese-speaking(traditional) users.
One major issue with the system is that it has different standards for moderating speech in different languages. This has led to inconsistency and confusion, as users who speak different languages may be punished for saying the same thing.
Another problem with the system is its vague decision-making process. It is often unclear why certain content is deemed inappropriate or why certain users are banned. This lack of transparency makes it difficult for users to understand the rules and to appeal their bans. In particular, there have been instances where political speech from Taiwan or mention of historical events have been banned, even though it is unclear why they would be considered inappropriate. It is currently known that such situations occur frequently in countries ruled by the Chinese Communist Party.
In addition, users who are banned are often unable to appeal their bans or receive any detailed information about why they were banned. This lack of due process makes it difficult for users to defend themselves and to understand the reasons for their bans.
Furthermore, the system does not provide any warnings before permanently banning users. This means that users may be permanently banned without any prior notice, leaving them with no opportunity to address any issues that may have led to their ban.
In light of these issues, there are strong calls to immediately halt the automated moderation system for moderating speech and to provide options for streamers to decide whether to enable it. Without greater transparency, consistency, and fairness, the system is likely to continue to be a source of frustration and anger for users.
Twitch 自動審查言論的系統一直是爭議的來源,因為它對不同語言的審查標準不一、模糊的判斷機制以及缺乏透明度。 近期,系統的不穩定運作已導致許多資深且高價值的用戶被封禁,引發了平台的繁體中文使用者中的大量焦慮和恐慌。
系統的一個主要問題是,它對不同語言的言論進行審查時有不同的標準。 這導致了不一致和混淆,因為說不同語言的用戶可能會因為說了同樣的話而受到懲罰。
另一個問題是模糊的判斷機制。 經常不清楚為什麼某些內容被認為不妥或為什麼某些用戶被禁止。 這種缺乏透明度使用戶很難理解規則並申訴他們的禁令。 尤其是,有些情況下會封禁台灣的政治言論或歷史事件的提及,即使不清楚它們為什麼會被認為不妥。 目前已知這種情況在中國共產黨統治的國家經常發生。
此外,被禁止的用戶通常無法申訴他們的禁令或獲得有關他們被禁止的任何詳細信息。 這種缺乏正當流程使用戶難以為自己辯護,並且難以理解禁令的原因。
並且系統在永久禁止用戶之前不會提供任何警告。 這意味著用戶可能在沒有任何事先通知的情況下被永久禁止,使他們沒有機會解決可能導致禁令的任何問題。
鑑於這些問題,強烈要求立即停止自動審查言論的系統,並提供實況主決定是否啟用的選項。 如果沒有更大的透明度、一致性和公平,這個系統可能會繼續成為用戶感到沮喪和憤怒的來源。

You don’t understand Chinese, let alone Chinese people, but you want to use the CCP’s dictatorial censorship standards to control the speeches of all Asians. This is an insult to freedom of speech and a blasphemy to all democratic countries. We have the right to speak , not for you to decide what we can say, against the dictatorship of the Communist Party, against the censorship of speech

Good job Twitch Taiwan, I hope you ban everyone with your ridiculous word-banning system. Ban everyone so that there is no one left in the chat room and the streamers can just talk to themselves. Perfect! 台灣人, 不要再花錢在圖奇平台了, 不要當盤子因為下一秒可能就被ban了, 不要當個傻子被人欺負!

Twitch's auto-ban system is terribly unsuitable for Taiwanese users.
Please stop it before you improved it.Why we have to be banned for using words that are non-discriminatory, non-hateful, and look like just normal conversation?
(like 尼哥羅, it's a Pokémon, not means ******, ok?)And why we have to be banned for speaking out in solidarity with our country?(like 台獨)
it's unreasonable.
Do Twitch's ban-words refer to China's censored words?
China is a totalitarian country, so there are many unreasonable censored words. Please stop referencing it.There're not only China people are Chinese speakers.
And, Chinese(China people) are not even your users! But Taiwanese are. -

Sorry, but we, the Taiwan Twitch user, is wondering if Twitch is going to help the problem or not. The symptom in Taiwan is become worse and worse and this keep pushing Taiwan user away from Twitch.
For example, 「爆射」, the word spelling explosive shooting in Chinese, is banned for several days? For what? Are you thinking Taiwan people or Asian people should be away from shooting game? What a racist opinion. What about Tiananmen incident on 4th June? This is only the history event, so what are you banning for? The non-Taiwanese Twitch user also be banned just because he use spanking while he is in Taiwan.
Sorry, but everything goes wrong and become terrible while the Auto-Ban system is having trouble. We also wondering if there's someone controlling the system to have Taiwan user couldn't express our feeling in chat room. Twitch you are totally letting the system, or may be real someone, controlling the speech freedom for Taiwan user.
We need to telling to the other country users, the Twitch employee or even admin, Chinese Character have much different meaning for any combination and it's not reasonable to ban the specific words. Also for the Chinese bad word「幹」 also have meaning for "DO" something. Repeat again, it's not reasonable and ridiculous to ban the single word or single phrase. We also consider it's a racist way to manage the Taiwan chat room like this.
And there the items we hope to see in the near future.
1. Let Taiwan managers or admins to manage the ban word list for localization. And it should be the most practical way for keeping balance to manage the chat room and keep the speech freedom in Taiwan.
2. Have user know why they were banned and have effective way to deliver the response to the managers or admins.
3. Stop ban anyone for political issue, specially for the real history event.
4. For the most important, STOP BANNING EVERYONE UNTIL THE AUTO-BAN SYSTEM IS BECOME MUCH MORE BETTER.
Thanks and hope Twitch could be much more better.

Auto-BAN對於中文頻道的不友善近幾個月非常的嚴重,
有時候即使只是陳述一個事實,也會被直接的禁止帳號,
一步一步的剝奪了人們的言論自由,在一個網路平台卻存在的威權式的管理,
請問我們活在什麼樣的年代?需要被這樣管控,需要這樣的被限制,
審核制度越來越糟糕,也越來越多人濫用檢舉的功能,
甚至平台的公平性與公正性也成為需要解決的問題,
我們沒有要求這樣的機器人,卻強迫我們每個人接受這個機器人的反效果,
讓人們活在一個恐懼與不自由的網路平台,
這就是你們所想要的嗎?
除了共產國家,還有這個平台之外,
請問全球哪個國家限制成這樣?
越活越原始嗎?
那你們的華語收入也準備逐漸的回歸原始吧。 -

The criteria for banning account in Twitch is so suck.

比企谷八番 commented
I wasn't banned, but I have seen people wrongfully banned (it happened within minutes). Someone typed chrysanthemum honey and got banned just because Chrysanthemum is a slang in Chinese means a-hole. There are many more cases like this. The censorship is getting ridiculous. I will not sub/re-sub or gift sub until this problem is solved.

The Auto-BAN issue troubles every single user in Taiwan, including streamers and viewers. Viewers didn't know what they type in chat make them banned, so they rather not type a thing in chat, and don't want subscribe or cheering anymore. Streamer can't do anything with a low attempted chat. There will be less traffic of Taiwan's stream market if the issue stands for a long period. So please review this issue and fix things up!
