Mizkif Twitch Ban

Twitch, the top live-streaming network for gamers, unexpectedly banned content creator Mizkif, sparking a blaze of criticism and causing many to wonder why the ban was implemented.

Even when it comes to taking legal action against well-known streamers who break its rules, Twitch is renowned for being tough in enforcing its policies. Twitch is adamant that these rules are necessary for upholding a secure and reliable platform for all users, despite the fact that this may seem harsh to some.

A well-known Twitch streamer named Mizkif has amassed a sizeable fan base across Twitch and other social media sites. He is a founding member of the One True King (OTK) group, which also includes well-known Twitch streamers and content creators like Asmongold and Sodapoppin. Despite being a well-known content creator, Mizkif has recently come under fire and backlash because of a sexual assault cover-up controversy.

Despite being cleared of claims of sexual assault cover-up in an OTK inquiry, it appears Mizkif’s problems will not soon be resolved. Mizkif was banned from Twitch on January 13 for allegedly “aiding account suspension evasion.” Sadly, his encounter with the platform’s rules was not over.

Mizkif was discovered watching MILF Manor and streaming it live on his channel during a program on February 6. Because of this, Twitch apparently decided to ban him again for breaching the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Mizkif promptly acknowledged the suspension, saying that he had been suspended for 24 hours for breaking the DMCA. Mizkif was banned for watching MILF Manor during a live broadcast, which is strange given that several other streamers have done the same without being penalized. It’s probable that the ban was brought about by several complaints from viewers who didn’t like the controversial show. However, Twitch hasn’t offered any specific guidelines or justifications for the restriction, so it’s unclear why it was implemented. 

The difficulties Mizkif has faced since returning to Twitch are numerous. Just recently, Mizkif abruptly cancelled a Twitch Plays Pokemon event because there weren’t enough viewers, and he also almost hurt himself while weightlifting live on broadcast.

And even though it’s only February, the platform has already issued him a second ban. It is obvious that Mizkif will need to be more cautious going forward to have a more successful return.
