Just a couple of days after being banned from TikTok, Minecraft star George "GeorgeNotFound" Davidson's alternate account has now been banned on Twitch.

The 24-year-old Minecraft YouTuber took to Twitter to inform fans about his recent Twitch ban.

The incident took place while he was playing Portal 2 with Sapnap.

In the midst of streaming from his alternate account called "ThisIsGeorgeNotFound," he was left stunned after receiving a notification about his ban from Twitch.

According to the reason provided in the notice, Twitch banned him for reportedly having "an inappropriate username."

The length of the suspension was deemed "indefinite."

Stating that his violation was of a "severe nature," the statement read:

"Based on a review of your activity or content , we have issued a Community Guidelines strike on your account. Due to the severe nature of this violation or the fact that you've incurred multiple violations, your access to Twitch services is indefinitely restricted"

Due to the questionable ban, several fans took over Twitter with #FreeGeorge and demanded that Twitch lift the ban on GeorgeNotFound.
