39Daph reveals possible reason for shock Twitch ban
Just a couple of hours later, Daph responded on Twitter, revealing the ban was likely due to her channel being mass-reported after showing sexually explicit content. However, since the game she was playing was permitted by Twitch, she was unbanned.
“Anyways, its prob from mass reports on a sex scene clip from the game Immortality,” she wrote. “They realized their mistake and unbanned me since it’s a permitted game.”
Thankfully, Twitch quickly corrected their mistake, and Daph is free to start streaming again whenever she feels like it.
