PhantomL0rd claims Twitch is trying to silence him from talking about lawsuit win Twitter\/PhantomL0rdJames \u2018PhantomL0rd\u2019 Vargas claimed Twitch is trying to prevent him from talking about the lawsuit he won against them and accused them of trying to keep the documents hidden from the public. In 2016, Twitch cracked down on CSGO gambling streams and, as a result, banned PhantomL0rd for allegedly \u201cmisleading viewers\u201d in regards to skin gambling, which he denied. The streamer sued them for removing him from the platform for \u201cunsubstantiated, false accusations.\u201d The court battle started in 2019, and he ended up winning the case on April 23, 2021. Initially, he sought $35 million in damages. However, he ended up receiving $20,720.34, which is a fraction of what he thought he\u2019d be entitled to. Still, he was ecstatic with the result, claiming it was a \u201cwin for all streamers.\u201d But in an interesting development, PhantomL0rd claimed Twitch had been actively trying to silence him from talking about the lawsuit. \u201cTwitch just asked the Judge to silence me from tweeting\/talking about the lawsuit,\u201d he said. \u201cThat only works on Twitch. Oh, and also they\u2019re also trying to seal their internal documents from being seen by the public!\u201d Read More: xQc confirms plans for Twitch subathon – In defiance, he\u2019s said he\u2019s still \u201ceager to talk about the details for [his] lawsuit win\u201d and that he \u201cmay go live tomorrow\u201d to share his thoughts on the whole situation.
