Twitch Has Banned Meowko
Popular Japanese streamer Meowko has received her fourth Twitch ban in less than a year. The platform is well known for its confusing approach to bans that can seemingly strike anyone. Twitch streamer Meowko announced that she is submitting an appeal to this decision because she believes the reasons behind her ban are not legitimate.
Meowko started streaming in 2019, entertaining her followers on Twitch by sharing moments of her life. She often streams in the Just Chatting category, talking with her fans, sharing gameplay snippets, or showing real-life moments in Japan. Thousands of people watch her streams, which usually last between four and eight hours. Meowko has gathered a community of about 300,000 followers who watch her regular IRL adventures on Twitch. This popularity eventually drew negative attention and Meowko had a stalker late last year, but her situation is safer now.
Twitch Community Guidelines Updated to Include Gambling Ban
Following her latest stream on October 19, Twitch decided to ban Meowko. This decision came as a surprise for the streamer and her followers, who didn’t understand the reasons behind her temporary removal from the platform. Meowko’s stream had lasted about three hours, during which the streamer decided to teach her viewers how to swim. She completed a challenge of swimming 50 meters within 30 seconds, before heading back inside and ending the stream.
This was enough for the platform to ban Meowko, as wearing a swimsuit is only allowed on Twitch when streaming at a hot tub, pool, or beach, but not when walking back inside to end a stream. Meowko submitted an appeal to contest the decision, but she will not be able to stream for one day, as her current Twitch ban will last for 24 hours.
