Famous political streamer Hasan Piker has once again faced a temporary ban on the Twitch platform due to his controversial comments. The incident occurred on January 29, 2026, around 7:00 PM Pacific time, when Piker's livestream was suddenly interrupted after his remarks about the murder of Alex Prepetti.
Scandal Details
According to sources, the reason for the blocking was Piker's comment using the term "Zionist", which Twitch classifies as hate speech. The streamer immediately commented on the situation on social network X (formerly Twitter), pointing out the bias in moderation rules.
Reaction and Next Steps
Shortly after the blocking, Hasan announced that he would continue streaming on YouTube, where he plans to cover a public demonstration related to immigration policy. This is already the seventh case of a temporary ban for Piker on Twitch.
Most previous blockings lasted from 24 hours to a week. Currently, the streamer's channel remains unavailable, and the platform has not provided official comments regarding the restoration of access.
