Twitch star Adin Ross took to YouTube on February 12 to update the streaming community. He claimed to have been &quot;silenced&quot; by the Amazon-owned platform. He recalled being unbanned after a week-long suspension and hosting subsequent livestreams during which he said some &quot;real s**t.&quot;Adin Ross then mentioned receiving a call from a Twitch representative who informed him that if he continued to say &quot;certain things,&quot; the platform would &quot;take him down indefinitely.&quot;Jake Lucky@JakeSuckyAdin Ross says he was silenced by Twitch and they threatened to ban him indefinitely if he kept doing certain things on the platform380696Adin Ross says he was silenced by Twitch and they threatened to ban him indefinitely if he kept doing certain things on the platform https://t.co/YZW55DCFAB&quot;I got a threat&quot; - Adin Ross provides details about a conversation he had with a Twitch representativeThe video titled &quot;They tried to silence me&quot; began with Adin Ross stating that he had been absent from livestreaming for about two weeks. After announcing his return, the Florida native stated:&quot;I just want to say, I was silenced and I'm going to tell you what I was silenced by and what happened. So, I had a week's suspension on Twitch and then when I got unsuspended on Twitch, I'd maybe stream two or three times after that.&quot;Ross recalled getting a call from a Twitch representative. He did not name who the person was and claimed that they &quot;threatened&quot; him:&quot;And once I was streaming and doing what I normally do, you know, I say some real s**t sometimes, I basically got a call. I'm not going to say specifically who it was, but you know who you are and you basically said, 'Hey man. If you keep doing controversial stuff and you keep saying certain things and you keep, basically, you know, promoting certain things on your stream, We're going to have to take you down indefinitely.' So I got a threat.&quot;The 22-year-old personality went on to say that he laughed at the statement and elaborated:&quot;The first thing I did was I laughed at that because I thought to myself, 'It's really like being silenced.' Because they're basically saying, I can't preach what I want to preach without having to worry about getting indefinitely suspended. That made me think and realize, like, this is not safe. I can't come with this new mindset, on this platform, that I stream on and basically do what I want freely.&quot;Adin Ross added that he was &quot;spooked&quot; after having the conversation:&quot;So anyways, I got that call from them... and it just kind of spooked me a little bit, because this is what I've been on obviously. This is how I live my life. I've been meditating. I told you guys I've been pushing certain stuff and that's just what I've been on! So I don't want to change for anyone!&quot;Adin Ross concluded the two-minute video by saying that he and his team have been working on some &quot;workarounds&quot;:&quot;So my team and I have been thinking of some workarounds. We've been thinking of like, stuff that we can do to basically block this off and basically move past this. And we go some stuff in the works. But I'm just here to let you guys know, I don't really care. Honestly, at this point, I'm going to say what I want to say. I'm going to do what I want to do and I'm going to believe what I want to believe.
