It seems that popular content creators don't only have Twitch to worry about when it comes to bans.

Top streamer Imane 'Pokimane' Anys revealed earlier today that her Twitter account had been locked. According to the streamer, Twitter had sent her a notification that informed her she was locked after the platform received a 'compliant Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) Notice.'

Pokimane claimed that the DMCA was in response to her sharing a TikTok video that used Doja Cat's song 'Say So.' She also noted that it was due to her tweeting 'I love girls.'

Why was Pokimane banned from Twitter?

In screenshots Pokimane shared to her Twitter, it appears that Twitter deleted the tweet with the 'Say So' audio as well as the tweet where she simply said, 'I love girls.' It's unclear how that particular tweet went against the platform's DMCA guidelines.

Pokimane's friends quickly came to her defense, seeming to find Twitter's ruling overly harsh. A Team Liquid coach and LCS analyst jokingly replied, 'That'll teach you.' Another friend from Twitch mocked Twitter by accusing Pokimane of stealing content.

'Yoink yoink yoink,' Pokimane replied.

Other fans also seemed confused as to how the 'I love girls' tweet would lead to a DMCA strike. Pokimane tagged DMCA in a response, sarcastically stating that they would be hearing from her lawyers.

But many other Twitter users appeared supportive of Twitter instead of being on Pokimane's side. They replied that Pokimane clearly didn't understand DMCA, since 'Say So' was a copyrighted song that she had no right to use freely. Some followers pointed out that the 'I love girls' tweet included the song in it as well, although it's unclear from the available screenshots.

What happens when you get a DMCA notice?

Twitch has recently been under the spotlight as more streamers receive punishment over DMCA claims. Using copyrighted music and other sound clips has resulted in content creators getting strikes against their accounts and sometimes even permanently banned from Twitch.

What has been the most concerning about the sudden onslaught of strikes has been Twitch's handling of the policy. Many streamers had to delete VODs and clips from years ago in order to avoid the strikes. Twitch didn't seem to warn anyone before handing some of these harsh punishments, only adding to the confusion and frustration.

How many followers does Pokimane have on Twitter?

Pokimane currently has over 2.9 million followers on Twitter. She has 5.6 million on Instagram, where she has over 730 posts. The popular streamer continues to gain fans across all social media platforms thanks to her affable personality and popular streams.

Drama among Twitch streamers is nothing uncommon, but it usually originates on the streaming platform itself. However, it appears that Pokimane got pulled into an issue with a YouTube content creator.

With so much going on centered around on Twitch, there is a lot of different drama that currently playing out on the streaming platform. Last month, many streamers had sexual misconduct allegations brought against them, even causing OfflineTV, an organization of Twitch streamers that Pokimane is a part of, to remove one of the members from their content house. More recently, the topic of Dr Disrespect's ban has been the main issue the streaming platform has to work around.

Though Pokimane is the center the of Twitter trend, she isn't the one who initiated the drama. This was started by the YouTube content creator Keemstar. He tweeted that Pokimane was a '2/10' and many users have fired back against this notion, stating their displeasure at his statement. Afterward, he retweeted himself, saying that he actually alluding to the female streamer's birthday and got the date wrong, but his responses to replies to the initial Twitter post led many viewers to believe that this was not an innocent mistake. Despite this backlash, Keemstar seems to continue to stand by his opinion, tweeting 'Keemstar 10/10' a few hours after the post about Pokimane.

Many on the social media platform have come to the Twitch streamer's aid and are denouncing Keemstar's actions as unnecessary and misogynistic. Other streamers that create content with Pokimane such as Lily 'Lilypichu' Ki have also spoken up in support of their friend, who engaged some replies with discussion and pushback on his behavior. Pokimane hasn't directly addressed this situation, but she did retweet someone commenting on the situation who stated that it was difficult to see a community go from supporting anti-bullying efforts after the loss of one of its own to publicly bullying for the drama and clicks.

Pokimane has been the subject of many attacks on social media lately, with many users saying that she is a popular Twitch streamer due to her looks and not her gameplay. However, many fans have continued to support her through this time and show her that they enjoy her for her personality and content.
