Why is Sneako banned from Twitch? Streamer calls out platform over string of scandals involving streamers like Nina Lin, Zoe Spencer and HasanAbi 

Sneako has called Twitch out in a scathing tweet on X.

The streamer, who was famously banned from the livestreaming platform in October last year, took to the microblogging platform to call out fellow streamers Nina Lin, Zoe Spencer and HasanAbi amid their recent controversies.

"Twitch just let two women who streamed themselves sexually assaulting a man (a crime) remain unpunished for days- until backlash. A week prior they allowed the face of their website to electrocute a dog into frame. Yet I am perma-banned… for…Does anyone even know why?" he questioned.

Born Nicolas Kenn De Balinthazy, he was banned from YouTube, Twitch, and Kick within just 48 hours last year. Known for his conservative commentary, at the time, Twitch cited “extreme hateful conduct" as the reason, shortly after a racist text message from him off-platform leaked. However, further details about the ban remain unclear.

Sneako calls out HasanAbi, Zoe Spencer and Nina Lin: Here's why

Sneako famously lost his YouTube account in 2022, though it was reinstated on October 20, 2024. However, within hours, it was banned once again. Kick was the third platform to follow suit, and it took place during one of his livestreams. Reports suggest it could be due to allegations that he perpetuated antisemitism on his Rumble channel.

As for his latest tweet, Sneako was referring to a viral video of Nina Lin and Zoe Spencer allegedly assaulting fellow streamer Faze Silky's assistant, Said. In the clip, the two can be seen twerking around the latter, seemingly leaving him uncomfortable.

As of this writing, Nina and Zoe's accounts have been suspended on Twitch, though an official reasoning has yet to be disclosed. In a now-deleted tweet, Said reportedly expressed his discomfort with their behavior, noting,

"I've been vocal about the situation originally and nobody cared. It took me a lot to talk about it again and for the third time it has hurt me once again, where it'll take time to heal from it again. I've been invalidated by the other parties. which don't realize what it did."

However, Complex has reported that Nina has since alleged that it was all in good humor, and that Said was even "laughing" at their antics. However, she admitted that her behavior was "wrong," adding,

"He clearly was uncomfortable with it. He was very hurt by it."

Sneako was also referencing the latest allegations of animal abuse involving yet another streamer, HasanAbi. Legally known as Hasan Piker, he went viral on X after a video surfaced of his dog, Kaya, seemingly enduring a jolt of electricity from its shock collar.

The video, which surfaced on October 16, showed Kaya on Piker's chair while he was in her bed. Piker has since refuted the claims and repeatedly maintained his innocence, brushing the video off to just "bad timing." He said:

“Every time Kaya actually walks to her cot, I literally just put my hands up. I'm like I didn't do anything. But yeah, she's obviously spot trained. It's called like when you say the place command, she goes and lays there. It's really good training for service dogs and every other type of dog that's gotten professionally trained. It like calms them down, stuff like that.”

He also addressed concerns about the way he spoke to his dog, claiming that the video just appeared as if he was being cruel to her and that it was not true.

As of this writing, neither Nina, Zoe, nor Hasan has addressed Sneako's comments on X.
