I agree, it’s a recuperation of liberal anti hate-speech rhetoric to buttress collapsing public support for imperialism and genocide. Maddening open hypocrisy that they’re citing anti-semitism while platforming and algorithmically promoting Nazis and other fascists as the top twitch streamers (with the exception of Hassan).
Joining other bannable offenses like “cracker” and “likes Sabra hummus” while platforming genocidal freaks like Asmongold
looking at the top 10 streamers Twitch is clearly aiming to be the Nazi social network that turns Zoomer boys into little fascists at a large scale. Also a reminder that Jeff Bezos/Amazon owns Twitch. Not a coincidence that Twitch, Twitter, YouTube and Facebook (+Reddit) are all funnelling children to become little fascists by their ‘neutral advertising and engagement’ algorithms.
Twitch declares that “Zionist” is a slur, will issue bans for criticizing “individuals” based on their “religious beliefs or background” (genocide, settler colonialism)

potentially establishing precedents for mass removal and censorship of anti-genocide organizing and education on other major social media platforms

Direct implications for leftist anti-genocide influencers like Hasan and his platform, also possibly setting precedents for mass censorship and removal of other Palestinian and anti-genocide organizing on major social media networks.
