Streaming platform Kick has indefinitely banned controversial streamer ChudTheBuilder, citing public harassment. The ban came after a viral video showed the streamer refusing to stop recording people in public, despite their requests.
The incident led to a three-day ban, which was later extended indefinitely following public outcry. ChudTheBuilder lost his verification badge and monetization during the initial ban, and his appeal to lift the ban was denied.
The streamer has since shifted to another platform, Pump.fun, and has not made any official statement apart from acknowledging the ban.
The incident highlights the increasing pressure on streaming platforms to take strict content moderation measures and respond quickly to creators whose behavior is deemed harassing or hateful.
