The latest bad news for the Doc comes a week after an allegation was first made by a former Twitch employee on X. “He got banned because got caught sexting a minor in the then existing Twitch whispers product,” the tweet said.
Yeah so I get banning him but did anyone over at twitch also think to… I don’t know… contact the FBI? Seems like that should have been the first thing to do, no?

From what I understand, “whispers” were what private messages were called on twitch. And it’s “then existing,” I don’t use twitch, but I guess it doesn’t exist anymore, that’s what they mean.

Existing Twitch Whispers product.
Capitalization is important for context.

I would imagine they were waiting to see if they could catch him. And then charge him. Possibly.

Alana Pierce, a games journalist/streamer/writer/etc had a specific responses to this exact question, based on personal experience. Her video on the topic is worth watching.

basically no company wants the bad PR. If it had come out twitch would be known as the platform with pedos and parents wouldn’t let their kids use it resulting in the platform becoming obsolete.

And now parents can see that twitch is the platform with pedos that chooses to do nothing about it other than hide it from the public. Muuuuuch better look to go full Catholic church than just fess up and take care of the problem.
Haven’t these chucklefucks ever heard that the cover-up is worse than the crime?

TL:DW? ACAB
Slightly longer : corpos make money, they dont give a fuck about laws. Cops dont give a fuck about anything.
Longer still : she was stalked/had her face photoshopped onto actual child porn. Gave detailed info about the child porn, including who/where/etc. cops did absolutely nothing.
