Twitch streamer banned for being shot at and getting his car jacked

What are your thoughts on this? I just saw another article this morning that an artist cosplaying as Chun Li was suspended for indecent exposure/sexual content (she said she got a size larger specifically to avoid this). I'm less upset about the ban than the sheer inconsistency with which Twitch issues bans/suspensions. I bet Twitch would ban someone for getting swatted and having the police come in with guns.

This, though, seems like a reasonable warrant for a suspension but not a ban, particularly if the dude took action to delete that part of his stream. I dunno, maybe this just points out that IRL streaming is probably extremely unnecessary.

Examining social media company policy will always end in "this company doesn't actually know what it is doing". Facebook is the biggest example of this with an ungodly amount of missteps, including helping people commit genocide. We give power to these companies to fill our lives and minds and only years later are forced to reckon with the fact that they were never equipped to handle it in the first place. These are for profit tech companies, they will always bend to the will with the highest rate of return and will retcon any choice they've ever made to do so.

The people who go on Twitter and say "WHAT ABOUT THIS OTHER EXAMPLE? SO UNFAIR!" are misplacing their emotions, not seeing the forest for the trees. I would go so far as to say they exemplify a type of privilege reserved for people who have never had a system out of their control bite them in the ass.

tldr: wack
