Twitch Shocks Users with the Shocking Ban of ExtraEmily!
Twitch enforces stringent community guidelines by banning ExtraEmily, a renowned American Twitch streamer, resulting in her removal from the platform
Highlights
Twitch streamer ExtraEmily has been banned for alleged violations of the platform's community guidelines.
ExtraEmily's captivating and distinctive in-real-life (IRL) content, which includes unconventional stunts like submerging herself in a garbage bin and broadcasting a thrilling kayaking journey, has propelled her to popularity on Twitch.
The exact cause of ExtraEmily's suspension remains ambiguous, although speculations point to her potential violation of Twitch's policies by engaging in mobile phone usage while driving during a live stream, an action that the platform has previously penalized.
Twitch streamer ExtraEmily, who has an impressive following of 264K, has been banned from the platform due to alleged violations of Twitch's community guidelines. With its strict policy enforcement, Twitch maintains that all streamers, regardless of popularity, are held to the same standards. While Twitch encourages creative freedom, it firmly stands by the importance of adhering to community guidelines, leading to genuine consequences such as suspension for those who fail to comply.
For those who may not be familiar with ExtraEmily, she is an American Twitch streamer known for her innovative in-real-life (IRL) content. One notable example of her unique content occurred in May, when she buried herself in a plastic trash bin filled with dirt, leaving only her head visible above the surface. This unconventional live-stream took place in the backyard of her fellow OTK streamer, Mizkif. ExtraEmily remained seated in the bin, immobile, delivering an attention-grabbing spectacle. Another remarkable IRL stream featured ExtraEmily unexpectedly attracting attention as the police were called during her kayaking adventure, which she live-streamed.
Twitch has recently banned the channel of OTK member ExtraEmily. The specific reason for this action is currently unclear, but when visitors attempt to access her channel, they are met with a message stating that it is temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitch’s Community Guidelines or Terms of Service. There is speculation that the ban may be a result of ExtraEmily using her phone while driving during a recent live stream, as Twitch has previously taken action against streamers for similar violations.
This is the first time that ExtraEmily has faced such action on Twitch, and the length of the ban is unknown. ExtraEmily has not publicly addressed the issue yet, but the streaming community has had strong reactions. QTCinderella, a popular Twitch streamer, took to Twitter to express that she would rather be banned in place of ExtraEmily, stating, "TAKE ME INSTEAD." On the other hand, streamer Tectone expressed support for Twitch's decision, suggesting that it was a necessary and overdue action.
The details surrounding ExtraEmily's ban and how long it will last have not been completely revealed. Nevertheless, the gravity of using a phone while driving, particularly during a live stream, cannot be emphasized enough. One noteworthy case occurred in February when a Twitch streamer from Poland received a permanent ban from the platform for apparently hitting a dog with her car while streaming. This alarming incident was attributed to the streamer's interaction with chat messages while driving, serving as a clear reminder of the risks associated with distracted driving.
