Adin Ross is a well-known name in the streaming community, having over 6.8 million Twitch followers. The 22-year-old started gaining popularity with his GTA roleplay and NBA 2k streams. But the streamer has also been part of many controversies since he’s been on the platform.
Adin Ross got banned after getting swatted on livestream
During the live stream on November 9, Adin Ross received a call from a friend, notifying him about an incoming SWAT team. The 22-year-old streamer was shocked to hear the notification, so he called an acquaintance and said, “We got swatted. I am streaming right now.” Soon, the Twitch streamer realized the SWAT team had reached his place.

Ross got down on his knees with hands behind his head and said, “There’s a swat team at my house right now, bro. I can hear them.” There was disappointment all across his face, and he said on stream, “Fuck. Why do y’all do this, bro? Why do y’all do this?”
Eventually, the police asked him to come outside, which he followed. However, the 22-year-old didn’t shut his stream, thinking he would return after resolving the issue. But he didn’t return, and a few minutes later, Twitch banned his account from the platform. There are reports that the SWAT team came with shotguns in a battle formation and also brought a helicopter.
The streamer has been swatted two times in the past, but he never got banned for it. So fans started wondering why this time. But the Twitch guidelines have the answer: “In situations where a user has lost control of their broadcast due to severe injury, medical emergency, police action, or being targeted with serious violence, we will temporarily remove the channel and associated content.”
How did the fans react to the Twitch streamer getting banned?
The fans were not impressed by Twitch for banning the streamer after getting swatted. They claimed it was not his fault that the SWAT team was there. The fans also criticized those who get these streamers swatted for fun. Let’s look at some of those comments.
