U.S. Lawmakers Demand Twitch Ban Hasan Piker, 2.7M Followers, Over Antisemitism Concerns
Nov 1, 2024, 05:30 PM
A group of U.S. lawmakers, led by Representative Ritchie Torres, is calling for Twitch to ban streamer Hasan Piker due to allegations of antisemitic content. In a letter addressed to Amazon and Twitch leadership, Torres expressed concern over Piker's remarks, which have been criticized for vilifying Orthodox Jews. The call for action has gained traction, with advocacy group StopAntisemitism supporting the demand for Twitch CEO Daniel Clancy to resign and for Piker's removal from the platform. Clancy acknowledged the community's concerns regarding harmful content, asserting that there is no place for hate on Twitch. However, critics argue that he has failed to address the antisemitism that has reportedly persisted under his leadership, highlighting the need for more decisive action against such content on the platform.
