Overview
- Streamer Steven “Destiny” Bonnell II claimed on X that Elon Musk and other conservatives “just got me banned from twitch” and said his income was wiped out.
- Lead Stories reported the restriction was imposed on March 24, 2022, and noted the ban notice image he shared has been online since that year.
- The outlet found no evidence the Twitch suspension was lifted at any point, and Destiny’s channel still displays an unavailability message for guideline violations.
- The cited violation on the shared notice was hateful conduct for promoting or facilitating denigration based on protected characteristics.
- Attention to the case resurfaced after Destiny’s Piers Morgan Uncensored appearance and Musk’s posts calling for legal consequences and questioning platform payments.
