Ryan "Ryiino" has been banned from Kick after he was revealed to be soliciting explicit pictures on social media. The streamer was accused by the victim on Twitter, with the thread documenting details of all his inappropriate behavior. The news was shared by other Kick content creators such as Girthy Gorrila, who have thanked the platform for making their website a safer place.
The 30-year-old was a partner on Twitch and Kick. Since his highly problematic interactions were brought to light, the social media community has been calling on the platforms to ban him. Both websites are known to ban people for engaging in illegal activities, and the Stake owned-platform got to it first.
Here is what it looks like when users visit his channel on the website. The image reads, "We can't find the page you are looking for." This indicates that the channel has been removed.

After many pointed out that Ryiino still appeared to be partnered on Twitch, it appears that the purple platform has also taken steps against the streamer with this message gracing people when trying to access his channel:

"You never know who they really are": Twitter reacts to Ryiino getting banned from Twitch and Kick
The bans come after Ryiino addressed the scandal in his official Discord and apologized for his actions. In the now-deleted message, he revealed that he would be taking a break from streaming to reflect on his life.
Readers should note that the news of the bans has been celebrated by much of the online community, with many pointing out the swift action taken by Kick to be a good way forward. The platform has been suffering from accusations about lacking moderation policies, which they seem to have addressed so far.
Here are some general reactions to the bans:
At the time of the ban, Ryiino had about 1.5K followers on Kick and over 19K subscribers on Twitch. Both bans appear to be indefinite, so it is unlikely that the streamer will come back to content creation any time soon.
