Key conclusions
- Fauci has been banned from Twitch for the sixth time, though the reason was undisclosed.
- The controversial history includes multiple bans from Twitch and suspension from Kick.
- There was also an incident in the past where Fawzi falsely claimed danger, escalating the event, leading to a police hold-up.
twitch has banned popular American content creator Fawzi once again, adding another chapter to the streamer's controversial saga. Fusi's career on Twitch has been marked by daring stunts and dramatic moments, often drawing attention and criticism on social media.
Fauci has achieved considerable success as a content creator, with over 10 million subscribers on YouTube and 275,000 subscribers on Twitch. However, his career has been surrounded by frequent controversies, often related to his actions during live broadcasts. These incidents led to numerous suspensions, including two Twitch bans in one week in August of the previous year. The first ban, on August 7, was issued after he used a hateful slur during an airing. Despite being reinstated after a three-day suspension, Fauci was banned again a few days later on August 11 for another violation of Twitch's Community Guidelines.

Kick's goal is to beat or buy out Twitch
Stake-backed Kick is looking to either overtake Twitch in the streaming world or acquire it in an effort to become the leading platform.
On November 15, Twitch suspended Fauci once again, making it his sixth total ban from the platform. While the exact reason for this latest ban has not been revealed, a visit to his Twitch channel reveals a message stating that “the channel is temporarily unavailable due to a violation of the Twitch Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.” The length of this suspension is currently unknown, but based on Fusi's previous bans, which are often short-lived, it is likely to be a temporary measure. The longest ban Fawzi received was a 14-day suspension in November 2019. Fawzi has not made any public comments regarding Twitch's recent suspension at this time.
Fauci is also banned for Kick
Notably, Fauci was recently banned from Kick.com, a rival streaming platform to Twitch, for doxxing someone during a live stream. For context, Fauci joined Kick last August after a temporary ban from Twitch, looking for a fresh start on a new platform. Reacting to Kick's suspension, he expressed his frustration on social media, highlighting his passion for streaming and asking for more support to help him follow the platform's rules.
When discussing Fauci's history of internet bans and controversies, it's worth remembering a notable incident during last year's IRL Subathon. Fauci claimed he was being stalked by someone who learned his hotel room number. In a state of panic, he called 911 and falsely reported that the hostages were being held at gunpoint. When the police arrived, he further escalated the situation, later saying that his mother was in danger. His refusal to calm down led officers to restrain him and handcuff him for safety.
