Popular Korean streamer Jinnytty banned from Twitch for allegedly showing inappropriate content
Jinnytty is YouTuber and Twitch streamer of South Korean origin who attracts viewers from all around the world with her livestreams. Her latest adventure in Istanbul proved to be a massive hit and brought in a great viewership count.
Despite starting her Twitch channel in 2017, she has managed to amass over a whopping 775k followers due to her adventurous vlogs and fun gaming videos.
While there was no concrete reason provided as to what led to the ban, some comments hint she might have been banned for violating Twitch's s*xually suggestive content policy as she was filming a girl dancing on a pole.
Twitch's community guidelines strictly restrict content that involves any kind of s*xual activity or nudity on the platform. This policy also applies to embedded content/media, profile images, emotes, creative broadcasts, and panels that are provocative in any form.
Social media reacts to the streamer's third ban
Judging by the comments, the majority of viewers seemed confused as to what had happened, with a few questioning if the streamer had been permanently banned from Twitch.
Sharing a wide spectrum of reactions, here's what fans had to say:
This isn't the first time the popular IRL streamer has been hit with a ban hammer on the platform. Back in October 2020, she was handed a two-week-long ban on Twitch for her reckless behavior in a live broadcast where she could be seen wobbling along a road while riding her bicycle and running through a red light.
At the time of writing, neither the streamer nor Twitch has issued any public comment regarding the ban. Her fans believe it is not a serious infringement in any form, and she might be back to her usual streaming schedule soon.
