Twitch declares that “Zionist” is a slur, will issue bans for criticizing “individuals” based on their “religious beliefs or background” (genocide, settler colonialism)
Implications for leftist streamers like HasanAbi
potentially establishing precedents for mass removal and censorship of anti-genocide organizing and education on other major social media platforms

Has the ban hammer already hit Hasan? He’s normally live by now.
he streamed today just a short one since he’s streaming basketball on someone elses account tn, I thought the same thing lol
he talked about it and basically said it sucks and shat on the bad faith of the people and orgs pushing it, but said he’d abide by it and people in his chat using zionist as an insult were probably going to be logged and banned later by twitch
no, he’s just out of town for the weekend
He’s in Austin for OTK Gameday. He will probably either be back on in a bit or be on another OTK members stream.
