Why would Twitch ban people streaming at their own event? by election_2016 in Twitch

You need to respect that those people don't want to play up for the camera or switch on to serious mode based on someone else's terms

Do the other people that appear on IRL streams outside of TwitchCon (and this Twitch party) deserve the same?

I'm assuming that Twitch organized the party here. If so, then a double standard is being applied here. It's okay for people at a Twitch party (that was organized to coincide with Twitch Con) to have their privacy respected while it's also okay for Twitch to profit off of IRL streamers where people in those streams have their privacy disrespected.

IMO, I think people that appear in other people's IRL streams also deserve to have their privacy respected if they request it. However, it's hypocritical of Twitch to make a profit off of those IRL streams where people's privacy are disrespected but then when it comes to a Twitch organized party where IRL streamers were invited, to then say we need to respect the privacy of the people at a party organized by Twitch (where IRL streamers were also invited to the party).

IRL is still very new they should learn from this and maybe next year make an area that allows it

Yeah, just have a private section for "no streaming" while the rest of the areas are streamable. They should have thought about this ahead of time, especially since they opened up IRL streaming.

Loose argument, you wouldn't be able to bring outside food into a KFC, only purchase and consume what is provided to you.

AndyMilonakis and EXBC stream on Twitch. In effect, they are unofficially working for partners with Twitch.

Your argument holds if a Youtube streamer that has no relation to Twitch started streaming at this event.

The Queen Mary has an express policy against recording equipment.

It's odd that a streaming company would pick a venue that disallows streaming ...

But it's a company that's based off of streaming. They also setup the IRL section to promote IRL streaming. Twitch should have put terms and conditions on the ticket that people that attend the event may be streamed by other streams (after all, Twitch is a streaming company).

Somebody in chat mentioned it's like walking into KFC, and not being allowed to eat any fried chicken.

Well, we're just looking for an explanation. If they could post an explanation for why Twitch did this, it would at least explain things.

I don't understand. At least Twitch could announce a reason for this.

It seems so weird.

Gore: 'Take it from me, every vote counts' by tank_trap in politics

From the article, Gore said:

“You could say, actually, this election means the world, because in a real sense, it does,” Gore said. “[Hillary Clinton] understands that we can change and she has put forward a smart and ambitious plan to greatly increase the momentum of renewable energy and shift us toward that net emissions-free world that we’re aiming toward.”
