CohhCarnage worried about Twitch\u2019s future after Pokimane DMCA ban CohhCarnage\/PokimaneTwitch streamer Ben \u2018CohhCarnage\u2019 Cassell voiced his concern for the future of the platform after Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys was banned from the platform for streaming copyrighted content. On January 8, Pokimane was banned from Twitch during a 10-hour Avatar: The Last Airbender watch party. Poki has since confirmed the ban will only last 48-hours, but being the first big streamer to receive punishment amid Twitch\u2019s TV meta has concerned fellow top streamers, like Mizkif, that the DMCA fallout has begun. CohhCarnage is wary that the bubble is beginning to burst, and it could be bad for both creators and the platform\u2019s future. CohhCarnage on Twitch DMCA fallout The 37-year old streamer explained why he is concerned for the future of Twitch after the Pokimane ban. \u201cRight after one major streamer gets DMCA\u2019d, another starts testing the waters with other dangerous content (Toast with Deathnote). Poki plays off the two-day ban and promotes her return stream with a smile. They\u2019re speedrunning getting this site in incredibly hot water,\u201d he tweeted.

I hope Twitch is locked down legally because it\u2019s not a good look at all.\u201d Cohh placed the blame on both sides, as he doesn\u2019t believe Twitch hasn\u2019t done enough and also thinks creators are pushing the boundaries of DMCA too far. The streamer concluded his thoughts by explaining that Twitch might not be able to pass all the blame to the creators who are breaching DMCA rules, and said: \u201cThe general argument is that Twitch will pass any lawsuits to the creators. That they are legally protected as they don\u2019t control the content.\u201d The general argument is that Twitch will pass any lawsuits to the creators. That they are legally protected as they don\u2019t control the content. But do those protections work when they keep allowing the stuff to happen? When temp bans are jokes and the offenders keep returning? \u2014 Cohh Carnage (@CohhCarnage) January 8, 2022 He finished with a warning that the cycle of temporary bans for big streamers simply cannot last forever. \u201cBut do those protections work when they keep allowing the stuff to happen? When temp bans are jokes and the offenders keep returning?\u201d It remains to be seen if Twitch will implement any further measures amid these concerns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
