This makes about as much sense as the every car needs to have sensors & alert people if they leave a child in the backseat.
Maybe if we let a buncha people busted with 3 oz of weed out of prison, we'd have room for the people who drunk drive over & over & over & over that nothing seems to stop them from putting themselves & others in danger but being locked up might sober them up.

NO ONE FUCKING CARES ABOUT YOUR VIDEO GAME RECORD BUT YOU DIPSHIT.
You could provide proof you didn't do it on an emulator and make them eat their words & get a pretty pretty press release.
Instead you are going to make a court force them to put your record back... at the cost of bankrupting them so they will no longer have a list of high score winners and your sad little life will end up being as useless as your penis has been.
I'm sure the 10 whole people in the world who give a shit about your score will be impressed... how about you do a speed run of death valley in the summer with no support team for your next trick sparky. Your 15 minutes was up a long time ago, stop trying to relive it and do something to benefit society... self removal seems to be the only way you could make the world a better place... get on that.
What, I tell you I am a sociopath and then you are all shocked that I behave this way?

"But Abu Huzayfah, ISIS killer, never existed, something the Royal Canadian Mounted Police verified a year before the podcast began."
"Under the terms of the peace bond, which is reserved for people who the authorities fear may commit terrorist acts, Mr. Chaudhry must remain in Ontario for the next year and live with his parents. He is prohibited from owning any weapons, must continue to receive counseling and is required to report any changes in his virtual or physical addresses to the police."
Are they going to impose these peace bonds on the idiots who brought these charges?
They took a fake terrorist & then used that to upset people by claiming it was a real terrorist with plans to hurt them.
If anyone was committing terrorism I would point at those claiming he might be a real terrorist after the RCMP decided he wasn't.

What we really need is someone with "Go Fuck Yourself" money to open a credit card company.
They'd quickly become the largest processor & there would be no shareholders to threaten.
90% of what these assholes are trying to ban isn't illegal, they just don't like it.
I guess no one ever taught them its okay if you don't want to, but you can't make everyone else not do it.
Another major city can no longer use their water because of high lead levels... and the focus of these idiots is if people can use MC to see porn. Those are some really fucked up morals you have there Skippy, pretty sure when Jesus comes back its just going to be to bitchslap you.

Most people don't actually give a shit about porn, they just don't want it shoved in their face & I can respect that.
These idiots believe this is the real bad thing behind everything so we have to ban it, while their husbands are off getting pegged by their hooker.

Every platform should have a policy that gives the reason.
Even if they lie about why they are locking you out, at least there is a reason.
The randomly ban unban ban unban with no information is a stupid policy & shows a lack of critical thinking.
Half assing the ban unban merry go round not only will cost you that content creator, but other content creators will be looking for a platform that promises to give more detail when they ban & have a clear system to reach unban.
Given how a competitor could stumble across a torrent & build their own Twitch clone really easily, they should be working on this massive failure of explaining themselves.
Twitch isn't the only platform out there & as they annoy more creators they'll start being that platform people used to use.
Someone could launch a half assed platform that had clear rules & clear ban explanations & people would flock to it.
Not having to worry what if this time the red bikini gets a ban but never the blue one... until someone decides to rule differently with no update to policy.
Let creators focus on their creating their content thats within the spelled out lines not fuzzy lines that move in the breeze.
