xQc revealed his latest theory on how Twitch enforces its bans while streamer Asmongold accused the platform of not applying its Terms of Service “fairly.”
On April 26, Twitch streamer Tectone was banned from the site for two weeks after comments he made about political streamer Frogan.
The ban sparked debate on social media as Tectone stood by his comments and accused Twitch of not applying bans fairly, calling out Hasan’s broadcasts, specifically.
It wasn’t long until Tectone’s friend and former OTK buddy Asmongold chimed in as well, with xQc soon following with his own take on the situation.
Asmongold and xQc call out Twitch after Tectone’s two-week ban
In response to a post on X by ‘Yeet,’ Asmongold revealed that, while he thinks Twitch’s Terms of Service are “quite reasonable,” he feels not everyone is held to the same standards.
“I think people would respect a decision like this by Twitch if it was applied universally,” he said of Tectone’s ban.

If applied fairly, the ToS of Twitch is quite reasonable and well-intentioned
The problem is when you have asymmetrical enforcement and double standards

“If applied fairly, the ToS of Twitch is quite reasonable and well-intentioned. The problem is when you have asymmetrical enforcement and double standards.”
Following this, Kick star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel joined the conversation – and the French Canadian had his own theory about how Twitch decides to implement its suspensions.
“Believe it [or] not, it’s in my understanding that this is only enforced when a streamer manually reports someone that attacked them,” he stated.

The former Overwatch pro clarified that he wasn’t 100% positive about this, but was basing this theory on what he’d heard as one of the world’s top streamers.
“I know more about how the ToS is applied internally than most, and I’m taking an educated guess. I’m not gonna sell it as a proven science.”
It’s not clear if xQc’s theory on Twitch bans holds any weight, but it’s not uncommon for streamers to be aware of rules that aren’t common knowledge to most viewers.
For instance, back in March, Kai Cenat revealed that he wasn’t allowed to raid the Rolling Loud festival, because he had more viewers than the maximum raid amount.
In any case, Twitch doesn’t publicly comment on individual bans, so xQc’s theory may remain just that for the foreseeable future.
