Despite it being the world's most popular video streaming website, Twitch is often the source of user controversy, particularly given the site's reputation for banning someone, sometimes without clear reasons. A lot of the time the bans are justified, such as when Adin Ross had his account deactivated after he was seen streaming while driving. But there are plenty of users whose banishment from the site is open to questioning. This is exactly what has happened to one
FC 25 Coins streamer recently.
In a post on Twitter, streamer Run The FC 25 Ultimate Team Market has said that he has been banned from Twitch for allegedly watching the Olympics, presumably while on stream. However, he insists that what he was watching were highlights, and not a live broadcast. It seems the reason for the ban is likely due to the company believing the user was streaming copyrighted material, which live sporting events would come under.
Run The FC 25 Ultimate Team Market, who is known for streaming FIFA games, has been told on Twitter that this type of ban will possibly be rectified within two days. Another commenter suggested he move to YouTube in the meantime. However, the streamer said that this isn't something they could do, as they have a contract with Twitch.
Twitch's user guidelines, which is posted on its website, does indeed state that people may not stream live TV or sporting events, as well as other copyrighted material such as music. However, it's entirely possible that the company has simply made an error, especially given that Run The
cheap FIFA 25 Coins Ultimate Team Market says he was watching highlights, although the website doesn't state what the rule is on streaming highlights, so it's unclear whether what the streamer has done falls under any infringement rules. It's entirely possible that he will be unbanned soon, much like how Twitch unbanned Mr Wobbles recently.
