"The company said users will be able to report such behaviors but it may also investigate cases proactively, for instance if there is a verified news report that a user has been arrested."

So we've arrived at "innocent until accused" instead of "innocent until proven guilty"? And if proven guilty, they will both be punished under the law, and again by companies like Twitch? If proven innocent will they be restored? What a slippery slope.

It's hard to argue with the goal of removing sexual predators or terrorists, but the reality is these are subjective standards being applied. It's just as toxic as cancel culture.
