Vitaly, one of Kick's most controversial streamers, has been banned from the platform once again. Known for his provocative content, the internet personality had over 334K followers at the time of his ban, placing him among the platform's most followed creators. His most talked-about content is the 'Catching A Predator' series.
Vitaly's latest stream aligned with this series, as he staged a scenario where an actress arranged a meeting with a stranger he suspected to be a predator. During the interaction, the man stripped off his clothes and exposed himself, an act captured by a hidden camera.
This violated Kick’s community guidelines, as the platform, like Twitch and YouTube, prohibits explicit nudity (transcript via kickcommunity.com):

"Although Kick allows 18+ content, it doesn’t permit the streaming of pornographic content. This includes full or partial nudity and overly suggestive or inappropriate content."
"It was bound to happen" - Fans react to Vitaly's Kick ban
Vitaly’s 'Catching A Predator' series has drawn mixed reactions. While it has gained a large following, it has also faced backlash for its approach to confronting suspected criminals. In the most recent broadcast, the alleged predator's actions resulted in an unintended violation of Kick’s rules.
When news of the streamer's ban spread on X.com (formerly Twitter), fans quickly shared their thoughts and reactions, expressing support for or disagreement with the decision.
"It was bound to happen," @LoopedQ said.
"Vitaly and his team are scums of the earth," @vitalyupdatez wrote.
"Never liked him anyways," @wydjoshy said.
"The way Kick does moderation is pathetic. You don’t shutdown an entire channel over every little problem," @theweekafternxt opined.
You can't pull up on a predator and expect him not to pull his d*ck out to defend himself," @Gargoylegroyp10 wrote.
This is not the first time Vitaly has faced a ban. Earlier in November, he was temporarily banned after he and another individual in his series made the Sieg Heil gesture, a controversial Nazi salute.
