Goddamn, your head is so far up your ass on this you’ve forgotten reality exists!
Twitch is not a streaming monopoly
Even if it was, banning nudity would not be any kind of infringement due to how many other nudity specific competitors absolutely exist
And even if they didn’t, aren’t they “a private company, they can ban who they want when they want!” Like you just justified with hate speech, while completely forgetting that censorship of nudity has longer and more established president in much more monopolistic environments?
Seriously, get some fresh air. Breathing all those fumes isn’t good for your health.
Yes, Twitch absolutely has a monopoly on live streaming. They own the whole market and the hardware that is required for economy of scales to work.
Twitch not allowing nudity is exactly identical to MasterCard refusing to process porn. They are abusing their market share to prevent businesses they don’t like from being possible. They aren’t subject to the First Amendment and I never claimed they were. You’re the one who brought up speech that courts have repeatedly ruled is not protected by the first amendment and the government is permitted to explicitly take action on as “protected speech” they would have to allow if they were held to the antitrust law that prevents them from abusing their market position, and I threw it out as the obvious irrelevant nonsense it was.
All the streamers I watch livestream on YouTube, and even when moving away from YouTube twitch isn’t on their list
And that’s not even getting into data, which also proves it’s not a monopoly
Way to gaslight to shovel bullshit tho
And no, twitches stance on nudity has fuck all to do with Mastercards take on nudity, because Mastercard isn’t hosting, promoting, or advertising the content. And they’re certainly not targeting their products to children, again twitch’s main demographic
