Forsen banned on Twitch for the third time

For the third time in 2020, Twitch Streamer forsen has been handed a ban for unknown reasons which the community speculates to be a DMCA takedown.

For the third time in 2020, Twitch Streamer forsen has been handed a ban for unknown reasons which the community speculates to be a DMCA takedown.

His first ban came in May 2020 followed by September 2020 which lasted for two weeks and a day respectively. In recent times, there has been a stark rise in the number of DMCA takedowns in Twitch, with copyrights mostly targetted at songs from old VODs, and forsen seems to be just another victim falling to it.

forsen is not the first big name to fall victim to DMCA takedowns, some of which has been a mistake which Twitch has already apologized to; if it the same for forsen, the ban will likely be lifted in no time. With over a million followers on Twitch, he is a big-time streamer with a history of competing in StarCraft and Hearthstone.

forsen was left without an explanation this time around after Twitch banned him in September for using a homophobic slur which according to him was misheard for his Swedish accent. Twitch will most likely look into it and we hope they quickly come up with a solution if this is nothing but a mistake.
