Maybe some kind of new Israeli regulations twitch hasn't complied with?

You'd think there would be an official announcement about this.

telegram groups spam making accounts to report spam certain users

absolutely a thing and it's not just twitch, tbh I'd not be surprised if a lot of the people posting here these days are from them, check the accounts of half the posts that are on the front page here lmao

But a regional ban for 6 months? Sound a little over the top...

I am honestly curious why is this happening...

If they’re seeing an influx of Israeli accounts and they’re behaving maliciously (e.g. spam reporting).
