In a shocking incident, Turkish Twitch streamer Hasan Piker has been banned from the platform following a controversial live stream where he incited his audience to harm Florida Senator Marco Rubio. During the stream, Piker stated, “I think Marco Rubio deserves to be killed, but I won’t say that because that’s illegal.” This statement has led to an immediate backlash and reported violations of Twitch’s policy on hate speech and conduct. Following this incident, social media platforms have seen considerable discussion around Piker’s comments, and there have been calls for a broader conversation about accountability for online behavior. The ban comes as Twitch is under scrutiny for its moderation policies and the treatment of political discourse on its platform. Legal experts have suggested that Piker’s comments could lead to potential legal consequences due to the nature of inciting violence. Piker, who has a large following, is known for his political commentary and has previously faced criticism for his outspoken nature. The streamer has not yet publicly responded to the ban, and it remains to be seen how this will affect his career and the Twitch community at large.
