Henar Alvarez: Amazon-owned Twitch bans Amazon account (Prime Video Espana Channel) after Breast revealed on air

Amazon-owned livestreaming site Twitch has banned an Amazon Prime Video channel after a presenter appeared to accidentally reveal her breast during a live show
Amazon is now technically censoring itself, as Twitch, which is owned by Amazon, has suspended the Prime Video Espana channel after a display that violated nudity rules.
During an end-of-year stream of the panel show Esto Es Un Late, a female host – comedian Henar Alvarez – decided to ‘go for the ban’ and started lifting up her shirt. She was joined by another panelist who also briefly exposed her nipple.

“We’re about to be banned,” she said laughing. “Come on. They’re going to ban us!”

The stream wasn’t blocked right away, the camera simply cut away, but when the host decided to do it one more time later in the broadcast, the stream was immediately cut and replaced by a title card.
There hasn’t been any official statement from Twitch regarding the suspension; however, it’s more than likely that it was indeed due to a violation of Twitch’s community guidelines on nudity, Twitch has strict rules around partial or full nudity on camera which prohibit anyone who ‘presents as a woman’ from exposing their nipples.

“For those who present as women, we ask that you cover your nipples. We do not permit exposed underbust,” the service’s community guidelines say.

What makes this unusual is that this marks the first time that an Amazon-affiliated channel has ever been suspended on the Amazon-owned platform, which apparently goes to show that not even Amazon is exempt from its own rules.
Gaming news site Kotaku reports that it is the first time an Amazon-owned brand has been banned from Twitch.
It is not clear for how long Prime Video Espana’s suspension will last. Twitch does not, generally, make the details of disciplinary action public, and bans can vary in length.
The livestreaming giant also has an appeals process for those looking to have a ban lifted or shortened.
Twitch, which started as a video game streaming site but has transformed into an all-purpose platform, has had several problems over the years with sexually suggestive content.
In the past, women who dressed in a way that some considered suggestive were derisively referred to as “booby streamers” by critics. That led to a 2018 revision of the “dress code”.
More recently, the emergence of the “hot tub meta” – where streamers would broadcast in swimwear from an indoor hot tub – raised similar questions about what is and is not allowed.
Earlier this year, one of the biggest such streamers on Twitch, Amouranth (now a thot on OnlyFans), had advertising revenue pulled from her account – even though she argued she had not broken any rules.
