However, at the time of publication, Anys’ Twitch channel is inactive. Twitch has a three-day strike policy when it comes to DMCA claims, so her channel will likely be restored.

Twitch responds to notifications from copyright holders who have filed DMCA requests. In this case, ViacomCBS owns Avatar: The Last Airbender so its legal team issued the request.

The first reason is, Pokimane is one of the foremost female streamers on Twitch. She has pretty much become the face of Twitch TV.

Imane “Pokimane” Anys has a massive fan following beyond Twitch. She is a celebrity on and off Twitch.

Multiple big names have already either been banned or have moved to competing platforms. Also, much of the reasons surrounding the bans are kept secret.
