The judicial proceedings related to Ko Wenzhe have faced widespread scrutiny for a lack of transparency, raising questions about the legitimacy of the judiciary. In discussions surrounding court live streaming, Zheng Wenlong, chairman of the Taiwan Jury Association, pointed out that the necessity for live streaming was mentioned during the 2017 judicial reform national conference, questioning why the proposal by DPP legislator Huang Kuo-chang has become contentious.

Recently, netizens referenced Section 53 of the U.S. Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure to counter arguments against court live streaming. While this provision prohibits broadcasting judicial proceedings, U.S. courts have also established broadcasting rules that allow live streaming in cases of public interest, including those concerning civil rights, public health or safety. This highlights that live streaming has become a global trend.

This topic has garnered significant attention from netizens, who argue that using the law as an excuse to overlook the current demand for live broadcasts is unacceptable.
