My first thought was that this is likely politically motivated. They are building "cancel culture" into their platform.
They're opening the door to threaten influencers making money using their platform that support the "wrong" political party. If they say the wrong thing on Twitter, they will be banned on twitch/fb/google/etc. Incredible times we live in.
- clairity 6y agoi don't buy into the cancel culture meme, but what you're describing is exactly how accumulating power exerts itself to eradicate dissent. it happens with every form of governance throughout time once a tipping point of consolidation is reached (which is why i don't buy into this meme, because it's only a specific and ultimately a distracting manifestation of this larger phenomenon).
- ativzzz 6y agoNah, it's money motivated. The less controversy there is with Twitch streamers, the more easily they can negotiate ad deals and make money.
