Lacari: https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/windows/csam-using-streamer-lacari-caught-red-handed-by-microsoft-notepad-posts-apology-denial-after-being-perma-banned https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/windows/csam-using-... He still streams on Twitch, he got a temporary week "long" ban and then came back claiming it was a virus or an accident while also claiming he has a porn addiction problem... but don't worry he's very "sorry" (to have been caught). The state of this Amazon-owned streaming platform is wild... and that's without even looking at the rampant antisemitism (their second top political streamer, Hasan Piker, currently has a bipartisan US House resolution (H.Res.1239) in progress calling him and Candace Owens out for their antisemitism), repeated call for violence (their top political streamer, Asmongold, was recently banned for a few days for calling for the murder of immigrant's children by ICE) and the repeated reckless/distracted car and even truck driving streams with some even leading to accidents (luckily enough without any deadly one... yet). All these are against Twitch rules, but the staff and even the CEO (who cosplays as a streamer) selectively apply the rules and unban the streamers who are under contract with Twitch or are well connected with the staff. I have no idea why Amazon or Twitch shareholders have not cleaned house already (e.g. ousting the CEO and the people in charge of the moderation), especially considering the fact that even with all these transgressions, Twitch isn't profitable after years of activity. They are waiting for someone to actually die I think, with clear links to Twitch... if that ever happens there are plenty of evidence that Twitch and Amazon know what is going on and barely does anything about it.

You definitely shouldn't assert that someone is antisemitic based on the current US House, even if bi-partisan. And I thought bills of attainder were unconstitutional? To answer your question of why, it's probably because they make money.

  There are plenty of evidence of Hasan Piker's antisemitism to the point that people have been collecting and contextualizing them: https://whoishasanpiker.com/antisemitism https://whoishasanpiker.com/antisemitism Also plenty of groups fighting against racism and antisemitism have come out against him (ADL, AJC), it's easy to Google. That House resolution is just the latest good indication that it's not just some isolated incidents. Piker's only answers are that he's taken "out of context" or that he's "joking", there's literally no context that make his public statements better or less antisemitic though, if you have any I'm interested. He also publicly voice his support to groups that are openly antisemitic (Hamas and Hezbollah) and recognized as FTOs (Foreign Terrorist Organization) by the US government. Now, it's his First Amendment right to be this way but Twitch/Amazon share a responsibility when they platform this content, and even more when they apply moderation selectively, in my opinion that should forfeit their Section 230 protection. They are deliberately shaping the discourse on their platform by permanently banning other streamers with opposing views and never taking similar actions against Piker. "Fun" fact, Twitch even had to carve out their own rules because Hasan Piker couldn't stop himself from calling Jews in general or some groups of Jews "zionist pig-dogs" and "inbred": https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/twitch-changes-hateful-content-policy-zionist-term-rcna180406 https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/twitch-changes-hateful-content-... EDIT: Regarding the bills of attainder, it likely doesn't apply here because they aren't trying to punish these two antisemites specifically, they just use them as examples of the proliferation of antisemitic content on platforms like Twitch and want Congress to condemn this practice and encourage platforms to address the issue.

    I only skimmed the first half of this list but I believe truth is an absolute defense to antisemitism just like defamation, right? You're really gonna say that "netanyahu is a jewish supremacist" is antisemitism, when it's well documented and probably relevant to whatever he was talking about at the time? He must've really pissed someone off to get his own hate site. I think we all know who he pissed off. That hate site would be illegal in the EU btw.

      You asked for evidence, I've provided plenty, with context. Skimming them and picking one that doesn't fully meet your criteria, then call it a "hate site" and then use vagueries like: > He must've really pissed someone off to get his own hate site. I think we all know who he pissed off. Tells me you have no interest in engaging in this in good faith. Also nobody cares if a website quoting someone being hateful would be illegal outside of the USA. Piker is an American citizen, spewing hateful antisemitism on an American platform... but nice attempt at a red herring.

        Are you aware of the bullshit asymmetry principle? When you cite a parade of bullshit I'm not obligated to refute all of it. A representative sample is enough to demonstrate that it's bullshit and that the bullshit asymmetry principle applies.

        Pointing at a single item in a list that you pretend to have only half skimmed is not refuting anything. And it's also not a "representative sample". It's called cherry picking. Nobody asked you to refute every single one either. The same goes with not addressing all the other points made and sourced in my messages above. The fact is that there are enough blatant and contextualized statements in that list and the rest of the points I've made. They show his antisemitism. Piker is openly supporting Hezbollah and Hamas "10-toes down", again irrefutalbly antisemitic terrorist organizations. Most recently he had a slew of Democrat figures at the national level either denouncing him or distancing themselves, again, for his antisemitic comments (Hakeem Jeffries, Corey Booker, Josh Gottheimer, Hillary Scholten, Jeremy Moss, Abdul El-Sayed and so on). This happened because Hasan Piker rambled about Jews, and specifically American Jews being responsible for the antisemitism they endure and that they shouldn't be surprised if someone "takes action" against them if they continue to want a state for Jews: > And if Jews in America keep putting this idea out there that they are singularly invested in Israel, eventually someone's going to come around and take action, not against the state of Israel, mind you, but against American Jews. > [...] > You're running around basically tying your entire identity to a country that inevitably will be seen as, basically, Jewish ISIS... You're making antisemitism worse. But keep running around saying "bullshit" if you want, it won't change facts.
