Christian streamer suing Twitch after ban, claiming religious discrimination DrWitnesserWell-known Christian streamer DrWitnesser has revealed that he plans to sue Twitch following his ban on the grounds of religious discrimination. The self-proclaimed \u201cesports missionary\u201d was indefinitely banned from the platform on January 7, 2021 due to \u201chateful conduct.\u201d This came just a few months after he received a seven day ban for telling a Muslim child that he would be \u201csentenced to hell\u201d during a Fortnite game. After moving his stream over to YouTube following the indefinite ban, DrWitnesser has now decided to legally challenge Twitch. Alongside a screenshot of what appears to be the legal papers for the proceeding, DrWitnesser explained his plans and why he wanted to sue Twitch.

It is addressed from the Plaintiff, DrWitnesser, vs. Twitch Interactive, Inc, or Twitch.tv. https:\/\/twitter.com\/DrWitnesser\/status\/1366062942928723981 While, of course, there were some supportive of his decision, Witnesser was largely mocked in the replies. One follower sent him a picture of Twitch\u2019s rules around hateful conduct and harassment, to which DrWitnesser explained that he did \u201cnone of that.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/DrWitnesser\/status\/1366465529884659718?s=20 While it\u2019s not possible to tell exactly how this legal proceeding will go for DrWitnesser, the common belief is that it won\u2019t be good. Irrespective of the grounds he plans to sue them on, taking on giants such as Amazon rarely ends well. This will also likely be an expensive venture for Witnesser, so it\u2019ll definitely be interesting to see the outcome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
