Twitch streamer John "Tectone" was banned on the Amazon-owned platform on March 20, 2025, leaving many wondering about the cause behind the action by the platform's moderation system. Despite limited information being available at the time, speculation has emerged within the streamer's fanbase that his viewing of the anime series Solo Leveling during his broadcast could have led to the punitive act by Twitch's moderation.
In other words, according to netizens, his channel may have been struck down due to his viewing of copyrighted material during a broadcast. The ban is temporary and may last from a single day up to fourteen; no confirmation has been given on the duration thus far.
