Twitch dot tv became another flashpoint (somehow?)
In the past week it was a dust up between streamers Hasan Piker and Asmongold, with the former hosting an interview with an actual Houthi pirate and hostage taker and overtly supporting his terrorism, streaming houthi propaganda videos and posting a bunch of anti-semitic stuff. Asmon on the opposite side derided it and said he didn't give a fuck about Palestinians or Houthis and their inferior culture- Asmongold was banned, Hasan was not.
All pretty boring. Supposedly a 2 week ban and he quits in a fit, who cares. BUT today it got interesting with this novel development;
https://www.ynet.co.il/digital/technews/article/bklvdkgxjeThe entire country of Israel has been IP rangebanned from making new accounts on twitch. No jews allowed ^^
and the code is visible right in the html5, showing "blocked country IP" at their passport through site, stopping anyone from logging in
Its funny to watch the twitch reddit sub get blacked out by moderators in realtime as they do damage control, ex;
