Looks like "SeeKylePlay" would trigger an insta-ban for "Sieg-Heil". F.
I have a hard time believing this was / is the real version used. It doesn't seem broad enough. More likely it was a kind of smoketest that made sure that a more automated keyword checker was working. It does remind me of the XKEYSCORE (Snowden leaks) that used keywords to bubble up potential threats from emails etc https://www.businessinsider.com/nsa-prism-keywords-for-domes... .
This looks like legit, no-nonsense gets-the-job-done code that gets updated every time some jerk find a new way to be a jerk to others. It isn't great, but at least not over-engineered, and I'm not sure if Twitch account sign-up volumes and abuse are at the point where they should staff a project to do this more robustly / scalably
I see the same here. It's not clever, but no one has any doubt what words are being checked.
Now I will never have an IG account linked to my FB. Oh well, I can live without that but thank god I don't depend on that platform for business. It made me laugh but there is zero appeal available.

Holy cow how old was this system, circa 1975 or something?
I saw a dot matrix printer logging the chemical composition of the flue gas at a chemical research place in about 2002. That kind of thing is probably fairly common in the industry.

> Or simply omit all alphas and use only numerics. You're still not out of the park with numerics - people with 1313 or 6660 or 4444 or something will complain a lot. The possibility of a 666 in some new biometric government IDs in my country rose a massive stink from church...
I was in the UK recently and - if you can believe it - there was a car on the block I stayed whose plates contained 666. Also, have a feelin you meant to do 1312. What’s the issue with 4444, though?
In my youthful innocence I had assumed the characters in the movie were trading silly, made-up names (e.g. "Who are you calling "sparky", Popeye?"), not racial epithets.
The fact that this list needs to exist makes me sad, but I am glad technology can assist on some level with the issue.
We used to call this the "Scunthorpe problem" - how do you filter for obviously rude names while still allowing people to have their actual names? Bearing in mind that some people's names are actually rude. I worked on the application form processing for the Nectar card launch in the UK back in the early 2000's, and we had several cases. Luckily we had human data-entry clerks in the loop, so all we had to do was flag…
Its a similar problem to people having names that are considered "fake". I shudder what people actually named Harry Potter or James Bond have to go through regularly. Also, I dont see any sense in actually enforcing any of those lists. I always think about the "Journey of Life" in The Grand Tour, which, frankly, is completely inoffensive in any other language than english https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLXe2WTYngQ
