YouTuber Onision banned from Patreon after alleged doxxing Gregory \u2018Onision\u2019 Jackson has been banned from crowdfunding membership site Patreon after allegedly doxxing a fellowing YouTuber on Twitter. On Sunday, November 24, Onision tweeted out screenshots of private messages allegedly between himself and Billie Dawn Webb, who recently appeared on Chris Hansen\u2019s YouTube channel claiming he had harassed her. According to reports, one of those screenshots include Webb\u2019s full telephone number, prompting Patreon to disable his account which had over 500 patrons, no longer allowing him to receive monetary support from his audience on the platform. In a statement to The Verge, a Patreon spokesperson confirmed that Onisions actions constituted doxxing, which was a direct violation of the company\u2019s bullying and harrassment rules, leading to his removal from the site, even though the images weren\u2019t posted on the platform. The company has a strict \u201cno doxxing\u201d policy no matter where the action takes place, explaining that they don\u2019t allow \u201cPatreon to fund the practice of doxxing,\u201d and that any creator caught in the act of doxxing may be banned. \u201cSimply put, doxxing is a way that people try to hurt each other on the internet,\u201d a blog post from the company reads. \u201cIn those rare circumstances that a Patreon creator participates in doxxing, we take a strong stance against it because we know the potential harm it causes.\u201d Twitter have yet to ban the YouTuber, stating that the screenshots do not violate their terms of service, but any that includes a phone number would be grounds for punishment if they were reported to them. When reached for comment by The Verge, Onision said that the screenshots were taken from a relationship he had with Webb in 2016 to express how sad he was that it didn\u2019t work out, and was confused as to why he was punished by Patreon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
