Hello! It has been a while since I last post on BlueSky. After attending NABJ Atlanta, I think in order for me to build my brand, I need to (unfortunately) be more active on social media. So stay tuned for more tweets and videos featuring me and my reporting in Twin Falls, Idaho!

mini-scoop: during a recent twitch meeting, ceo dan clancy faced pushback for un-banning adin ross, the controversial streamer who's friends with andrew tate and has platformed multiple nazis. clancy claimed it wasn't about business, which I would find more believable if he wasn't the ceo of twitch
"What evidence did you evaluate that Adin Ross had reformed enough since his ban to justify him being unbanned?” the employee asked. “To be transparent, this is one of the decisions we've made that I've disagreed with the most. I strongly believe that this opens the wider community to harm and sends a signal that we will allow the sort of vitriol Adin has been known to perpetuate." 

Clancy largely replied in platitudes and rules-speak, which we’ll get to in a second. But the last part of his response is the most interesting, so let’s start there:

“I can say this emphatically to everyone: This is [in] no way, shape, or form based upon any business considerations whatsoever,” Clancy said during the meeting. “This isn't even remotely related to a business. It's about deciding about when you can give someone a second chance – and then giving them a chance, but if they don't live up to our expectations, we can take action. So in terms of this opening the wider community to harm, I think that if he doesn't live up to our community guidelines, then he won't still be on Twitch."
