Why was controversial streamer Kaceytron banned for the second time on Twitch?

Controversial Twitch streamer Kacey “Kaceytron”has been issued a ban from the platform on June 26. This is her second-ever ban on Twitch, the first being on March 2020 for around ten days. Her channel is inaccessible to the viewers right now. Upon clicking the link to her page, the following prompt pops up:

“Content from this channel has been removed at the request of the copyright holder.”

This message usually means the concerned channel has been suspended due to copyright infringement. In other words, the streamer used copyrighted material in their streams without approval from the copyright holder.

Is Kaceytron’s channel perma-banned on Twitch?

As stated earlier, Kaceytron’s channel has been suspended due to violating copyright laws. Temporary suspensions are common in such cases, so the streamer can anticipate the restoration of her channel after a certain period. However, the exact duration of the suspension is currently unknown.

It’s important to remember that repeated offenses could potentially lead to the permanent termination of the channel. Fortunately for Kacey, this is her first ban caused by a DMCA strike.

The streamer has already responded to the ban by posting a sarcastic GIF on her Twitter account, where a woman can be seen waving off the warning. She captioned it by stating:

“and ill do it again”

Twitch has strict guidelines that prohibit the unauthorized streaming of movies or series. Engaging in such activities can result in repercussions, such as DMCA takedowns and potential penalties from the platform.

For those curious, Kaceytron’s first ban occurred because she accidentally showed nudity while playing a game on stream. She was unbanned after a week and a half.

What did the community say?

The news of her ban quickly spread across various social media platforms, including Twitter, where users shared their reactions. In this case, some users took the opportunity to express their support for the ban. Here are some of the notable tweets:
