Chen Zhihan, a well-known Taiwanese internet personality popularly known as ‘The Gym Owner’ (Guan Zhang), has recently been indicted by prosecutors on charges of intimidation, drawing widespread public attention. According to the Taipei District Prosecutors Office, during a live stream in 2023, Chen made threatening remarks directed at a specific individual. These statements were deemed to have crossed the reasonable boundaries of free speech and potentially instilled fear, thus violating Article 305 of Taiwan’s Criminal Code—’Threatening to Endanger Safety.’Chen is known for his blunt political commentary and criticism of current affairs, boasting millions of social media followers. The incident stemmed from an online dispute between Chen and a businessperson, after which Chen used aggressive language during a livestream, prompting the other party to file a formal complaint. Although Chen argued that his comments were merely emotional expressions without genuine intent to threaten, the court preliminarily found his statements posed a concrete risk.This case has reignited public debate over the limits of online speech and legal accountability. Legal experts emphasize that while public figures enjoy freedom of expression in the digital age, they must also bear legal responsibility—especially when their words may cause distress or disrupt public order. The case is now under judicial review, with the final verdict to be determined by the court.
台湾知名网红‘馆长’陈之汉近日因涉嫌恐吓罪被检方起诉，引发社会广泛关注。据台北地检署指出，馆长在2023年的一场直播中，针对特定人士发表带有威胁性质的言论，内容被认定可能造成他人心理恐惧，已逾越言论自由的合理界限。检方认为其行为涉嫌违反《刑法》第305条‘恐吓危害安全罪’，遂依法提起公诉。馆长以直言敢言、批评时政著称，在社交媒体拥有数百万粉丝。此次事件源于他与某企业人士在网络上的争执，随后他在直播中使用激烈言辞，遭对方提告。尽管馆长辩称自己只是情绪表达，并无实质威胁意图，但法院初步认定其言论具有具体危险性。此案再次引发公众对网络言论边界与法律责任的讨论。专家指出，在数字时代，公众人物虽享有言论自由，但也需承担相应法律后果，尤其当言论可能引发他人不安或危害社会秩序时。目前案件已进入司法程序，最终结果将由法院依法裁决。
