Streamer and political commentator Zack "Asmongold" called out Twitch for being "biased" in favor of fellow political streamer Hasan "HasanAbi" and not suspending his Twitch account. This remark by Asmongold comes after Hasan partook in the recent protests that took place against the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement's recent raids in Los Angeles.
Asmon claimed that the Turkish-American streamer had been present on a highway for the protest, which, as per him, could be considered "breaking the law":
"I will say that it is undeniable that Hasan getting in the highway yesterday, and doing that, is breaking the law. This is an undeniable reality that even people who support him, I think, would have to accept. The fact that he didn't get suspended immediately for doing this shows how blatantly biased Twitch is..."

"Opens them up to a level of legal liability": Asmongold alleges Twitch is allowing HasanAbi to break the law on the platform
With the recent protests becoming a major topic of discussion among political commentators on Twitch, Asmongold has been extensively covering the happenings in LA during his broadcasts. He has repeatedly expressed his discontentment with the protests, stating that the individuals participating in them should "just be arrested."
On the other side, HasanAbi has been supportive of the anti-ICE protests, even going out and broadcasting live from the streets of LA. During a broadcast, Asmongold claimed that Twitch was "aware" of the Turkish-American streamer's activities on a public highway during the protests, which were, as per Asmon, against the law and subsequently could open Twitch to "legal liability":
"Well, I'm just saying that... I think this puts Twitch in a very interesting position because, again, Twitch now is fully aware that there are people breaking the law on their platform, and they allow it to happen. There's literally no excuse for this. There's not excuse and I think this opens them up to a level of legal liability that I'm not sure they're ready for."
Furthermore, he responded to the argument that HasanAbi would be considered as part of the "media" that was covering the happenings of the event, stating:
"Well, when you're media, no, that's not even the case. The media weren't even down there. They were recording it from a distance at a safe space. If you look at the media, they were using helicopters... Like, just because you're the media doesn't mean you get to ignore the law... I don't think he has a press pass or anything like that either."
During another broadcast, Asmongold made an interesting revelation about his dental hygiene. He revealed that he had not started regularly brushing his teeth until he turned twenty years old. Furthermore, he stated that he started doing so only after he started having trouble while eating steaks with his father.
