Felix Lengyel aka xQc is looking at a possible Twitch ban after an unintentional display of nudity during a live stream earlier today.
Watching viral/popular videos on stream has been bit of a trend among streamers for the past few years, the only risk it with such videos is, more often than not they are uncensored which opens the possibility for them to contain illicit content that may not be appreciated by Twitch’s ToS. Given how strict Twitch is, anything that do not sit right with them will end up getting the streamer banned for uncertain duration or permanent termination of their account altogether.
Something similar happened when xQc in his stream earlier on 17th May was going through a series of viral videos when he came across one where the police were attempting to arrest a person with blurred genitals out in the open. The blur does not stop xQc from violating Twitch’s ToS rather may work in his favour if Twitch decides to punish him.
xQc is definitely aware of the issue and his deleted the VOD in no time but the threat of a ban still looms over his head. A ban for an accidental display of nudity is nothing unprecedented when comes to Twitch and given Lengyel’s track record, the Amazon owned streaming platform may not shy away from banning him again.
It is quite obvious that the incident was an honest mistake from xQc which might appeal to Twitch. They can always be a little considerate when handling matters of unintentional mistakes that has cause little to no harm.
