Force @Forceultraomega Hey, I've been streaming for the past 3 years and have transferred my viewers from YouTube to Twitch 2 years ago. I've discovered around a month ago that A LOT of my longtime viewers have not been able to sign up to Twitch because they're located in Israel, which is insane (1/5) { של Lagi Sun Ulp LIVE x Join Twitch today ] Oops!

Twitch Support @TwitchSupport We wanted to address concerns we've seen about whether we're preventing Twitch account sign ups in some regions. When signing up for a Twitch account, you can select an account verification method - email or phone - for added protection. Following the October 7, 2023 attacks, we temporarily disabled sign ups with email verification in Israel and Palestine. We did this to prevent uploads of graphic material related to the attack and to protect the safety of users. Signups were not disabled, and we continued to see sign ups from both regions. Users could choose to sign up with phone verification. We've learned that, inadvertently, we did not re-enable email verification sign ups for either region. We deeply regret this unacceptable miss, and the confusion it has caused. We've fixed the issue, meaning all affected users can sign up with email verification. We've also heard concerns about whether our Community Guidelines apply to all content on our service. We continue to enforce our rules as consistently as possible, and are actively reviewing content and taking enforcement action where needed. 10:35 PM - Oct 20, 2024 1.1M Views
LonerBox @BoxLoner This is the error code when someone tries to make a Twitch account in Israel. Ironic that the person who sent me this is Palestinian :x 1 { "error": "Oops!

dan cant tweet @dancantstream I am about at 99% confidence of this now- I have heard from multiple sources that this is a real, actual ban of Israel. Anyone inside of Israel is unable to create a new account on Twitch. The ban went into effect in early November. I have confirmed at least first hand, with several people I know PERSONALLY to live in israel, that they can not create accounts and receive a "banned country" error. I have heard from others that this is an intentional act by Twitch. This isnt some sideeffect of banning vpns or trying to stop bots. Its code that has been put in place specifically to ban Israel. Please, tag the various jewish orgs with this information- This is insane. Im sure twitch will try to defend this with "Yes, we banned Israel but we also banned Gaza !!" (like they have a functional f------ ISP right now, give me a break) @djclancy999 You shall reap what you have sown. . 1:05 PM Oct 20, 2024 161.2K Views
