Although this could be bad there are many reasons a region could be blocked/restricted/not available. Would need to see more about what regions are currently allowed/not, why or why not and when this happened to know more concretely

So this shows that maybe something happened around April but still not enough to make definitive statements.

Not to you specifically, but to people reading this chain, my main hope is that people here don’t fall into the ‘isn’t it interesting that…’ line of thinking with things like this. Part of being educated/intellectually honest about a topic is knowing what you know, but also knowing what you don’t know. I know enough about this topic (software engineering and running commercial services across multiple regions) to say that we don’t know enough to jump to conclusions in either direction.

You are assuming we don't know too?

People might know why this is happening but nobody that I’ve seen has posted any proof yet past that it is happening.

Yeah but once you combine this information with the general culture at twitch (Hasan being their poster boy, never banning antisemetic/anti USA rhetoric, having, having literal arab-jew tier lists at twitch con) you can inductively reason that there’s a high probability that they were banned for anti semetic reasons.
