Some schools banned Harry Potter in America.
Also this article states that Twitch that the misconduct is this:
"It said examples of this “severe misconduct” include terrorist activities, child sexual exploitation, violent extremism, credible threats of mass violence, carrying out or deliberately acting as an accomplice to sexual assault and threatening Twitch or its staff."
Which one of these are just political opinions?
- hallway_monitor 6y agoWell, they already call out terrorist activities, which makes me wonder what "violent extremism" refers to. Maybe something as simple as taking a hard line against abortion and peacefully holding a sign outside a clinic could be considered violently extreme?
- Alupis 6y agoNo public schools banned Harry Potter, because they cannot do so. And a private school "banning" a book isn't an actual ban. You could still purchase and read the book if you desired.
- Jonnax 6y agoSo a private company can do what they want? But Twitch can't?
- Alupis 6y agoI think we're having that debate right now, no? Was it wrong for a private school to "ban" a book? I think so... do you?
- Jonnax 6y agoSo you're having a different debate to what the article is about. Do you think it's wrong for twitch to ban people for: "terrorist activities, child sexual exploitation, violent extremism, credible threats of mass violence, carrying out or deliberately acting as an accomplice to sexual assault and threatening Twitch or its staff."? Banning a book isn't even in the same ball park. I think it's pathetic of the school.
- ativzzz 6y agoTwitch is technically a public company (Amazon), but I don't think there's any difference in this case.
