| Jairong, you didn’t highlight your inline comments, but I think I got them all. There are two highlight icons below the text box: the paint can over the yellow bar and the yellow square. Inlines go on a separate line than the text of the article, please. If you use the square, pull the next line of the article up, because the table bumps down the next line; the paint can doesn’t do that, so you can tuck your comment neatly on its separate line. No, I don’t know why — I am Microsoft’s legendary end user — but there are lots of computer jockeys here who can explain if you don’t already know. |
[AOL] Hasan Piker, just known as Hasan got suspended from Twitch, which is a big streaming platform that started life as video games only but has since diversified into any topic.
During the Twitch stream, Hasan speculated that ICE had been tracking Alex Pretti prior to his killing. "Two senior national security officials tell me there are more than a dozen secret watch lists that Homeland Security is using to track protestors, both anti-ICE and pro-Palestinians," Hasan said.
| No doubt. Back during the craziness of the decade following 1968, the joke among the radicals used to be that if you were not an FBI informant, you could safely assume that the people standing next to you were. |
Traitors inside the US government will reach out to these streamers and selectively leak whatever they think will cause the most damage.
It was there that Hasan
| …according to the internet he is a nephew of The Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur on his mother’s side, while his Pops is active on the conservative side of Turkish politics; he was born in the US, reared in Istanbul, then returned here for university. He is in himself a red-green alliance, apparently reared a conservative Moslem while pushing a Bernie Bro philosophy… |
used the two-word phrase that resulted in his ban. The streamer referred to the alleged trackers as "zionist pigs" and "Israel-first monsters." He was then informed that he had violated the platform’s community guidelines.
| He's LW but the Miami Nazis and their RW followers also commonly use these phrases. |
Hasan took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his outrage about the ban. In the post, he took aim at the app’s guidelines. "You CAN say nazi pig on Twitch, you CAN say Democrat pig, you can say Republican pig, you can say Islamist pig. You CANNOT say zionist pig," he said.
It’s not the first time Hasan has been banned from Twitch. In May last year, he was banned after showing an alleged manifesto of Elias Rodriguez, the perpetrator of the Capital Jewish Museum shooting. Twitch called the action "improper handling of terrorist propaganda". In 2021, he was banned for using the word "cracker," in reference to white people, on stream.
| It has been proven that broadcasting mass shooters' manifestos results in copycats. Brenton Tarrant's manifesto was removed from Reddit after the Christchurch mosque massacre. |
Hasan has not stated when he expects to return to Twitch. However, his previous bans have been for approximately 24 hours.
They'll let him back on. He has a million followers and gets more viewers than CNN, ABC and CBS put together. If these streaming platforms banned all the shitheads they'd go out of business. To its credit, YouTube does ban them, and not just for 24 hours either; entire million-sub channels get deleted overnight and the streamers run away crying to Twitch or maybe Rumble (Glenn Greenwald's freeze peach platform of choice that he ran away to after his rhetoric caused real-world violence.)
Hasan called out the American Defamation League (ADL) in the next part of his tweet. He called the organization "an arm of Israel’s suppression in the west that works w/ law enforcement & does espionage."
| Mr. Hasan is misinformed... |
He added that it was the ADL that made his two-word phrase "a bannable offense."
Mess with Jews and you lose. |
