As of June 16, both Jesse and Jordan Eckley are unbanned. Twitch often bans accounts if they are heavily reported or trolled, but that does not appear to be the case with x2Twins. The ban was temporary, but the streamers were in absolute shock. As soon as they shared the news on their social media accounts, fans immediately responded and made the hashtag 'freethetwins' trending on Twitter.
Got an email from twitch, supposedly its a suspension for a dmca strike from our intro song, the only part of our vod that the music actually comes through because we were under the impression it was a copyright free song. No idea when it will be lifted.

Twitch has a shady history when it comes to bans, as random bans have occurred in the past for no reason. The platform offers no clearance as to why the bans have happened and does not comment in most of the cases. Some of the popular streamers that have been banned in the past were Dr. Disrespect, Sodapoppin, Roflgator, and Wolv21. Additionally, Twitch has also temporarily banned the former United States president, Donald Trump.
