Popular Twitch streamer Sebastian ‘Forsen’ Fors has been banned from the platform. The reasons behind the ban are still unclear as fans speculate that it could be related to DMCA regulations.

Many of Forsen’s fans speculate that the ban could be due to Twitch’s DMCA regulations, One Twitter user said: “Very likely DMCA strikes through PUBG stream yesterday, viewers were sniping lobbies and playing DMCA music. Just shows how much people really care about this DMCA shit to be honest.”

Forsen wouldn’t be the first to receive a ban due to DMCA regulations, many popular streamers like Pokimane and LIRIK were hit with bans due to old VODs that played any form of licensed music.
Forsen’s last suspension from the platform was on September 10, where Forsen explained that he believes he was suspended for using a homophobic slur but says it was ‘misheard’ because of his Swedish accent.
