Twitch Takes Down Nina Lin and Zoe Spencer Channels After Viral 2024 Clip as Lin Apologizes

Twitch has not explained the takedowns, raising new questions about consistency in creator safety enforcement.

Overview

  • A resurfaced May 2024 livestream clip spreading on X since October 23 appears to show Lin and Spencer restraining FaZe Silky’s assistant, Said, as he looks uncomfortable and attempts to get away.
  • By October 24, both creators’ Twitch pages displayed that the channels were temporarily unavailable for Community Guidelines or Terms of Service violations.
  • In an October 24 stream, Lin apologized and said she initially believed the moment was a joke before acknowledging that “what we did was wrong.”
  • Said previously posted that he felt assaulted after the original stream, later deleted those posts, then wrote in a now-deleted update that he felt invalidated and hinted he would speak further.
  • Zoe Spencer has not issued a public statement, and Twitch’s lack of detail has fueled wider debate over livestream safety and moderation consistency.
