Twitch Leaves Fans Stunned By Handing Amazon Prime Video a Bizarre Ban

Yesterday, Twitter was flooded with humorous remarks on Twitch and Prime Video Spain and there was a good reason behind it. Shockingly, the official Spanish Amazon Prime Video channel was banned from the platform after violating the company’s terms and services. This is notably the first ban to any Amazon Prime Channel on its streaming platform. For those unaware, Twitch was acquired by Amazon in 2014.

On December 19, 2021, Twitch banned the official Prime Espane channel on their “Esto Es Un Late” show after one member of the show violated one of Twitch’s terms and conditions. After hours into the stream, the broadcast went off suddenly. Then Streamer Bans announced the shocking news about the ban.

However, according to some rumors, Twitch might lift the ban in a few hours, but it’s been 18 hours and still, Twitch hasn’t released any official information about this ban.

People are talking about it on Twitter, Instagram, and Reddit, making interesting comments about this situation. Let’s have a look at some of the hilarious Tweets on this bizarre ban.
