Oh, quit calling this the Orwellian future. Nobody signed up and showed tits to enter into Oceania, anybody that fucks with Twitch still is getting what they’re asking for.
 
Maybe late, but I wonder if this means that the dr. disrespect guy was a test run for this shit, considering as far as I'm aware, no reason was given for his ban.
 
I mean if it meant getting some BezosBucks(tm) to spend after the collapse of the US dollar I'll happily dime out a twitch streamer.

Thinking that a giant coporation like Amazon is "Leftist" despite their hatred of unions, workers rights and love of spying on people to sell products is just dumb.

Imagine thinking leftists give a single shit about unions or workers rights, or hate spying on people, in the wake of soviet russia, china, vietnam, ece ece.

Who knew the streaming service ran by radical trannies and faux-socialists is adopting that classic gestapo/STASI spirit of snitching and blacklisting in real life.
 
I did nazi this coming.

Here's the big question, if twitch is hiring people to spy on streamers, why doesn't twitch just hire the streamers as actual employees like any normal media company?

This isn't new, they're just being more blatant about it.

Even without this there really isn't any reason to use Twitch anymore. Most streamers are thots, soys or sellouts, mods and jannies are mad with power, the culture is just cancer. I prefer watching small Youtube streamers.

Though, give it time and Youtube will implement this too.

Literally this, anyone who didn't see this coming was being optimistic. Nothing changed, they were always allowed to ban you doing things off site, but now they just hired a more robust team of informants to actively narc on you. Anyone still working for Twitch gets what they get.

Oh... No thank you.

Once someone is off of your platform, punishing them is risky. What if it's someone under a fake account, for one? You can only really verify these things on your own site.

I know some businesses will make some rule about social media, mostly in regards to you not doing anything embarrassing that reflects on them. However, trying to build up an entire spy network (and one certainly not even-handed) is a different issue altogether.

I also guarantee that this just isn't going to be Internet streamers, it will eventually spread to real jobs if it hasn't already. Someday you will get called in by HR because of your Internet activities done under an anonymous name with no connection to their company, with such activities being "high crimes" like deadnaming troons, making "racist" posts, doubting the integrity of the 2020 election, calling the head of CDC a fraud, making fun of fat women, etc. etc.

"So I called you in today because under the name foo-root-soo, you posted a problematic message calling people 'N-word cattle' on a misinformation thread about the Great Reset in an ablest forum section titled the 'Autistic Thunderdome'. I'm afraid this does not align with our company's values so you'll have to be let go. Your social credit score has also been docked 300 points. Wishing you all the best in your search."

If they start giving out loans and hiring paid thugs as debt collectors next, I might apply for that job.

There's more regulations for having "employees" then there are for having contract workers. If your partners aren't technically "employed", you don't have to give them as many benefits. (This is what people mean when they say Youtubers need to get "real jobs".)
 
At what point do people wake up and realize these organizations are taking things way too far? Of course, that point has long since passed, but there has to be a threshold were even the most naïve of consumers have to double take and question this insanity.
