Beloved Twitch,
I am a user from Taiwan, a small but important country in Asian area. Recently, several ridiculous banning actions have taken place in our community. Lots of Taiwanese users are banned due to the new hate-speech censorship policy, which contains a great number of texts that are particularly violating against the regulation of Chinese government instead of the ones of Taiwanese government. This really upsets nearly all the users from Taiwan, who has a decent freedom of speech.
I understand that you are aiming to prevent all possibilities of hate speech, and you have been committed to achieving the peaceful atmosphere suitable for everyone. However, Chinese language, more specifically--Chinese characters, is not only used by Chinese people but also Taiwanese, and whether to apply this “autoban” to Taiwanese users or not should be decided by these certain uses of Traditional Chinese; by the way, people in the land of China are not supposed to use Twitch anyway.
I sincerely hope that you take this issue seriously. Taiwan is a wonderful place where many spectacular and creative streamers and users who love this platform live. Besides, what makes this tiny island so special is the unique liberty and democracy which is different from China. The hate-speech-censorship system is supposed to protect those who are likely to be hurt from those speech instead of certain authority.
We have been loving and using this platform to share and exchange moments in lives for years. To be honest, this policy is sensitive to everyone who love Taiwan. Twitch giving in to this China-oriented policy is the least thing we ever want to see. Please give back the freedom that ought to belong to us and listen to the real voice from we people in Taiwan.
