Nowadays live streaming and gaming on online platforms have become very common and people enjoy watching live streams as well as streaming content to their fans. Streaming has become very popular on platforms like YouTube and Twitch over the last few years and the unpredictable nature of such videos keeps the viewers hooked. Live Streaming has made names such as Ninja, Rubius, Auronplay, Pokimane, Ludwig, and IShowSpeed household names. People enjoy gaming and other streaming content from their favorite creators. Many big YouTubers have also started streaming as it allows them to interact with their followers in real-time.
Nevertheless, the advent of streaming also brought along a lot of demerits with it. Live streaming comes with a no-error approach. Whatever mistake or unfortunate events happen are streamed live to hundreds and thousands of viewers. There is no takeback. Many streamers have even resorted to streaming when they are already occupied with something like driving. This is extremely dangerous and one should never do it. Sideneuke was one such streamer who learned the lesson, the hard way. What happened to her and why is she banned from Twitch? Read on to find out.

All About Sideneuke
Sideneuke is a Polish streamer on Twitch, who had just over 7k followers. She was mainly a Just Chatting type of streamer, which means that she used to talk about various topics with her audience. Although, sometimes she used to play games like Tomb Raider and League of Legends with her audience.
On February 17, a video involving Sideneuke went viral on social media which showed her streaming while driving. While she is driving, she is also interacting with her audience. As she is driving, she comes across a road with multiple dogs. Instead of paying attention while driving, she goes to check a message on the stream and hits a dog on the road.
As the streamer left the car after striking the dog, one can clearly hear the sound of a dog crying in distress. She got out to see what happened, called for help and the video stops right there. But according to people who watched the entire scene, she reportedly got back in her car and ran from the site.
As a result of this entire accident getting streamed live on Twitch, the platform subsequently banned her. The profile of Sideneuke can’t be accessed and the screen displays the message ‘This channel is currently unavailable due to a violation of Twitch’s Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.’

Twitch Streamer Ban Details
Netizens who have reacted to Sideneuke’s video have hailed the decision to suspend the streamer after the incident. Some people have also asked for the revoking of her driver’s license for texting and streaming while driving and running over a dog.
Twitch hasn’t yet confirmed whether the ban is temporary or permanent. Streamer bans aren’t very uncommon these days. These days a lot of streamers are banned either temporarily or permanently by the streaming platform. Sometimes the bans are not even for proper reasons.
According to Twitch’s rules, ‘dangerous or distracted driving’ is a punishable offense. This rule most notably led to gamer Adin Ross’ fourth ban in 2021. The platform is also notable for banning streamer and VTuber Nyanners in November 2022 for having an inappropriate costume on her avatar.
Sideneuke is still banned from the platform Twitch. This incident proves as a horrible reminder of driving while being distracted by texting or talking. Road accidents caused by distracted driving by mobile phones, tablets, or other electronic devices cause many injuries and fatalities each year. A split-second of inattention can result in a catastrophic disaster. These accidents often have far-reaching effects on the driver, their passengers, other drivers on the road, and innocent bystanders. One must always drive while paying full attention on the road.
