Neymar Banned From Twitch Due To Teammate Number Leaked
Butcher79
PSG football superstar Neymar has been banned from Twitch, and while there is no official reason yet, there is speculation that it was due to the inadvertent leak of Brazil teammate Richarlison's phone number.
Neymar's account was taken offline on November 9 and rumors soon began to circulate that this was likely due to an incident in which the star accidentally shared Richarlison's phone number live on his broadcast.
Sharing other people's personal information, such as addresses and phone numbers, is against the Community Guidelines and Twitch Terms of Service, and is certainly an offense that can result in a suspension or permanent ban.
The breach appears to have taken place as early as October 18, when Neymar showed his cell phone to spectators when he called Richarlison, which inevitably exposed the Everton player's phone number to the public.
Richarlison even jokingly tweeted about the situation, not surprised by the fact that Neymar's gaffe led to what he got. "More than 10 thousand messages" in five minutes.
Even though this event happened a few weeks ago, the fact that he left the VOD on his Twitch channel instead of deleting it may have left him vulnerable to punishment. There is no "statute of limitations" for such violations as long as there is evidence to support it.
However, there is obviously no way to 100% know why he was banned, as Twitch never divulges its rationale for the suspension.
5 minutos e já tem mais de 10 mil msgs🤦🏽♂️ obrigado @Neymar Jr

This becomes even more obscure given that the recent spate of DMCA strikes is forcing many streamers to suffer such a fate, so there is a possibility that Neymar's ban could be due to this and nothing to do with the leaked phone number.
However, Neymar is one of the biggest and most famous personalities in the world, not to mention Twitch, although he has been spending a lot more time streaming games like CS:GO, Call of Duty lately.
Ironically, he even hosted the broadcast with NAVi star Alexander 'S1mple' Kostylev , which is also recently banned, although the incidents appear to be completely unrelated.
