xQc shared his fresh perspective about the methods Twitch uses for imposing bans, while Asmongold claimed that Twitch doesn’t always adhere to its Terms of Service in a fair manner.
On April 26, Twitch streaming personality Tectone received a two-week ban due to his remarks concerning fellow political streamer Frogan.
The ban ignited discussions on social networking sites, with Tectone defending his statements and alleging that Twitch was inconsistent in enforcing bans, particularly focusing on Hasan’s live streams.
Shortly afterward, Tectone’s old friend and ex-OTK partner, Asmongold, also joined the discussion, while not long after that, xQc shared his perspective on the matter too.
Asmongold and xQc call out Twitch after Tectone’s two-week ban
In reply to Yeet’s post on X, Asmongold expressed that although he considers Twitch’s Terms of Service fair, he believes they aren’t consistently applied across all users.
He expressed the opinion that if Twitch enforced a decision like the one they made with Tectone’s ban consistently, people would generally respect it more.
The universal implementation of Twitch’s Terms of Service would likely earn broad respect due to its fairness and good intentions. However, inconsistent application and double standards can create problems.

When consistently enforced, Twitch’s Terms of Service are generally fair and well-meaning. However, issues arise when there seems to be unequal application and the use of different rules for different people.
Subsequently, Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel weighed in on the discussion – and the French-Canadian shared his perspective on how Twitch chooses to enforce its bans or suspensions.
Amazingly enough, from what I gather, this rule seems to apply only when a streamer actively flags someone who has harassed or attacked them.” (Fan speaking)
As far as I can tell, it seems that this measure is put into action solely when a streamer takes the initiative to report someone who has harassed or attacked them directly.

In simpler terms, the ex-Overwatch professional explained that although he wasn’t entirely certain, his speculation stemmed from information he had gathered as a well-known live streamer.
I have a deeper understanding of how our Terms of Service are implemented compared to many others, and I’m making an informed prediction based on that knowledge. However, please note that this is not a definitive or scientifically proven conclusion.
I find it amusing that you question my perspective, but allow me to clarify: I have a deep understanding of how our Terms of Service are enforced from within the organization, and I’m merely expressing an informed perspective. It’s not about proving a scientific fact, but rather sharing my educated assumption.

There’s some debate about whether xQc’s perspective on Twitch bans is valid, but it’s not unusual for streamers to know the less-known rules that many viewers might be unfamiliar with.
To give an example, in March, Kai Cenat disclosed that he was prohibited from raiding the Rolling Loud festival since his viewer count exceeded the maximum limit for raids.
It’s worth noting that Twitch doesn’t usually discuss specific bans in public, so for now, xQc’s hypothesis might continue to be seen as a theory.
