My assumption is that in the wake of the "Arab ranking" official Twitchcon event, there was a wave of JIDF troll accounts getting spun up so they blocked Israel temporarily.

As another stated, the IP banning of new accounts in Israel has been going on for a while and is just now getting attention because of the other anti-jew stuff the company is allowing becoming more prevalent.

My bets are placed on Twitch company culture being very VERY far left leaning and parent company Amazon having a generally hands off approach with all their subsidiaries, allowing this to fly under the radar. I still think this happening is pretty small right now, it would have to catch some major traction for anything to come of this.

Banning Israeli IPs is just retarded, what's the point? Does the IDF streams their operations? Advertisers might actually pull out now, as cynical as they can be, a blanket ban of Israeli IPs might be a step too far.

My top question:
* Have they banned existing Israeli accounts?

I haven't heard that Twitch has done so. If not, why?

Sure it could be some pink haired Palestine ideologue.

But Israeli is involved in a war right now. Part of that war involves heavy propaganda. An unusual number of new accounts from Israel may be pulling gay ops on twitch and twitch is so sick of dealing with it they are just banning new account creation until the war is over.

What kind of gay ops? I don't know. As part of the propaganda efforts they may be:
1) mass flagging anyone who talks ill of Israel, or positively or sympathetic of Palestinians.
2) Starting pro Israel accounts to push their propaganda.
3) Pushing twitch streamers or commenters to talk about the Israeli war. If they are not 100% on side with Israel, then comes the mass flagging and reports to advertisers.
4) Trying to instigate a situation where advertisers or payment processors have to drop twitch if they are not 100% on side with Israel.

Talking about the Israel war is a damned if you do, no matter which side you fall on. The only way to win is if nobody on their platform talks about it at all.

Take a look at what happened to Asmondgold. He just said he doesn't care about Palestinians and caused so much trouble for Twitch they had to ban him. That is lost money from a proven earner. They are better off if nobody prompts the conversation from the get go.

I love the more harmless side effects of retard wars where we aren't caught in the crossfire

 

[Nick Gars]

I mean its ultimately in the name of simping for sand niggers, but its still always a hoot when the eternal kike gets felted.

 

[Faceless Whore]

There exists a state of war between Twitch and Israel.

[Not Really Here]

I will try to act surprised when Dan and his friends buy Twitch at a discount from Amazon.

 

[Level99Manchild]

The idea that Hasan Piker and his cronies have direct contact and friendships with Twitch staff is 100% confirmed now.

Bro, lots of top streamers and influencers there are close to Twitch. I won't be surprised to know ethots like Susu and Emiru fucked half of the Twitch staff with Amouranth probably fucking half of them.

Israel: *does more to dismantle Islamic terrorism in the past month than any other nation has done in the past twenty years*

How have they helped prevent it in Europe?

 

[Catch The Rainbow]

Work with European governments to train them in counterterrorism and helped intercept terrorists.

Asmongold is also very close with Breadtube, he was simply retarded and didn't know when to just keep his mouth shut

Bros I’m a Muslim Arab in Israel (like 30% of the population btw) why is twitch persecuting me.

no you're not

Someone pointed out to me that this violates BDS laws in 37 states + Federal law. Under these laws, the states will not contract with companies that boycott Israel and will break contracts with any company who does boycott Israel. Twitch is officially not its own company but part of Amazon. Amazon is now violating BDS laws and can conceivably trigger government divestment of Amazon services including AWS.

If Amazon doesn't address this immediately or doubles down on this, it could possibly cost them hundreds of millions of dollars as 37 states and the US federal government break their contracts with AWS.

some purplehair in trust/safety just put AWS at risk lol

Twitch is an independent company, Twitch Interactive Inc. that is wholly owned by Amazon. Twitch is not being operated out of Amazon.com Inc. Amazon is just the majority shareholder of Twitch Interactive Inc. There is no way this can hit other Amazon group businesses, if it would be Amazon Inc. doing this themselves they would be hit with the BDS laws. There's precedent in this, where subsidiaries of a bigger company violated BDS laws, and only the subsidiary was hit with not being able to contract the government.

This can only impact Twitch Interactive Inc. aka Twitch itself. Amazon put in some legal separation between them and Twitch for a reason. Bezos doesn't want mouth breathing retards like Hasan Piker to be able to do any damage to Amazon with shit like this.

Twitch is about to be ass-fucked HARD. Either the advertisers pull out, some jew somewhere puts a lot of pressure on Bezos and then daddy corporate comes to clean house, or both.

Yep, fully agreed. It's just not that this will trigger BDS laws against the entirety of Amazon. Twitch will get fucked by this, but it's not like the federal government now can't contract Amazon for anything else anymore. They can't contract Twitch anymore, and that's it.

Yeah but corporate overlap must exist. It's like when Ben and Jerry's tried to boycot Israel Uniliver (their parent company) stepped in and said "no".

 

[OG Cryptid]

its not racist its nationalist


checkmate, sweaty

 

[Pizdec]

This is a stretch, but with the conflicts in Israel reaching a boiling point, is it possible that they just don’t want to risk any livestreaming of people being killed in the war?
