Twitch Controversy Over Year-Long Sign-Up Block
Twitch recently faced controversy for unintentionally blocking email sign-ups from Israeli and Palestinian users, a measure initially meant to prevent the upload of violent content after the October 7 attack by Hamas, which persisted for over a year. The platform admitted to forgetting to lift the ban, leading to accusations of negligence or antisemitism, with prominent figures such as Ethan Klein criticizing Twitch CEO Dan Clancy for bias. Although phone verification was an alternative, some users still reported difficulties. Social media users have voiced frustration, suggesting Twitch’s actions targeted specific users rather than solely preventing graphic content. Twitch has apologized and reinstated email sign-ups, calling the oversight an 'unacceptable miss,' but skepticism about the company's motives persists, with ongoing allegations of possible discrimination.
