My concern isn’t that a site/platform can ban you for your actions. This is fairly similar to how employers already have the legal right to fire employees/contractors for subjective reasons (eg. Decency clauses). That part is not new.
My worry is that Twitch is owned by Amazon. What happens if what I do something not on any Amazon property, but some Twitch PR decision leads to degraded access on my AWS account or my Amazon shopping account or “Login with Amazon” or “Checkout with Amazon”?
The fact that successful tech companies are collecting+building companies coupled with these “shoot first and maybe ask questions later” policies means there is more risk in using multiple services from one of these monolith companies than from choosing unaffiliated vendors.
