Ban Twitch User 'Baller' for Sexual Harassment On Stream

The Issue

Over several instances, the Twitch user known as 'Baller', real name Nelson Soko, has been documented as consistently harassing multiple women on his stream. Such behavior is not only deeply troubling, but also flagrantly contradicts Twitch's community policies, which explicitly condemn harassment of any kind, inclusive of sexual harassment. Additionally, a study by the Pew Research Center in 2017 stated that 41 percent of Americans have personally experienced online harassment, and the majority of these incidents occur on social media platforms like Twitch. By banning 'Baller', Twitch would not only be upholding its own policies, but also contributing to the fight against online harassment. This ensures that its platform remains a safe space for all users, regardless of gender. Take a stand against online sexual harassment and sign this petition to ban 'Baller' from Twitch.
