Twitch Issues Apology After Hitting Streamer With 30-Day Ban

Twitch apologized and quickly reversed a mistaken 30-day ban on streamer SmaK after a livestream comment was misflagged by its automated systems.

SmaK and other creators, including Nickmercs, said the remark appeared harmless and were confused by the suspension.

The incident underscores how automated moderation can misfire on major platforms, raising concerns about accuracy and consistent enforcement.
