The data theft involved Twitch in recent days has revealed that the platform has drawn up a streamer list gives do not ban, ie with which to turn a blind eye even in the event of violations. Of course, there was no shortage of controversy for the discovery that there are streamers to whom the rules are applied more loosely, even if many were not surprised to know it since it was already quite clear.
In reality, the streamers on the list are not immune from bans, but more simply are not instantly banned in case of violations. The list includes top streamer names such as DJWheat, Ricegu and Tyler1, along with the reasons why they should be safeguarded.
Curiously, but not too much, one of the names on the list is the CEO Twitch Emmett Shear, who “should not be banned for any reason”, since he is the boss.
Of course, in case of blatant violations, not even Twitch can bury its head in the sand and is forced to ban even its main sources of income, as happened recently with Destiny, guilty of having denounced the favorable treatments reserved by Twitch to some streamers. It would be worthwhile to paraphrase a historical joke from the Marquis del Grillo by Alberto Sordi: “Twitch, why don’t you ban them?” “Because they’re them and you’re not a ***.”
