Hasan responds to Twitch ban
In his May 25 follow-up on X/Twitter, Hasan said: “I covered the motives of the Israeli embassy staff shooter. Twitch ToS dictates a suspension for even critical examination of the manifesto.”
“I believe this is a bad policy for news and press freedom,” he continued, adding, “I’ll take the suspension, but hope Twitch changes this policy in the future.”
