Category 2 is relatively uncontroversial, but Category 1 ("harassment") is the one they'll use to hang everybody. If it were actually enforced fairly and in accordance with its meaning at law then no one would care... but this is Twitch we're talking about. Calling someone a 'simp' is probably Harassment in their book at this point.

Don't forget this one:

Leadership or membership in a known hate group

Let me guess: as defined by some "independent" far-left activist group?

Ah, I didn't see that one. Tricky. Yeah, they'll probably use the SPLC's definition of a "hate group", i.e. "anything right of Mao including the Easter bunny".

Moon is rock in giant's eye. It is known, Khaleesi.

I'm guessing proud boys, gamer gate, Christian, republican voter all fall in to known hate groups?

Corporations have gone full shit-for-brains. "Hey, wanna have to wade into the world of shit that is enforcing offsite behavior to demonstrate your loyalty to the cause?" "Why yes because we are all fucking shit brains who it would be an insult to actual retards to call 'retards' because even people-of-45-chromosomes know that this is a bad decision."

Normies aren't able to think in terms of principles so they won't understand what is happening until it bites them.

They will virtue signal and pile on to the other guys who get shit on for stuff commies don't like, but say it isn't fair or is a mistake when the machine comes for them.

If they agree that people should be fired/banned for "racism" or "harassment" then that grants arbitrary power to the assholes who accuse everyone of racism. There is no limits anymore, just a fight over who has the juice to direct the mob.

If they don't agree then they have to defend someone who said "nigger" which they have been indoctrinated to find viscerally abhorrent basically since birth.

I'm actually not opposed to most of this

That's how they always do it: lead with something nobody can object to and sneak some clauses in that allow them to ban anything they like.

And just like that any criticism or wrong opinion is harassment or some -ism.

Judging by how toxic most e-celebs turn out to be in real life they are going to loose most of their main content creators.

I know its owned by tencent but Trovo hosts a lot of really based content. The community could use more viewers if you want to give it a try.

I have to wonder why actual game streamers still use Twitch at this point.

They do this but allow thots to sit in hot tubs in skimpy bikinis and show their ass. Twitch is turning into Only Fans Lite.
