Right after the ban, CodeMiko’s Twitch channel disappeared. Instead, it just shows a message from the platform.
“This channel is temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitch’s Community Guidelines or Terms of Service,” it reads.
TwitchWhile Miko hasn’t addressed the ban on Twitter, she did share with her community on Discord what exactly got her banned from the platform.
“It’s cuz of the shock collar,” she said. The Twitch streamer did not specify how long the ban was for.
During a recent stream, Miko and her community were playing games like ‘you laugh you lose’ where if the creator laughed at something, she had to shock herself.
Twitch TOS reads: “Twitch does not allow content that glorifies, promotes, or encourages self-harm. We also prohibit activities that may endanger your life, lead to physical harm, or encourage others to engage in physically harmful behavior.”
