Twitch has suspended Nina Lin’s channel following the resurfacing of clips that allegedly show her and fellow creator Zoe Spencer engaging in non-consensual sexual contact with “Said,” the on-stream assistant of streamer Silky, during a past collaborative broadcast.
Screenshots shared online show Lin’s channel displaying a standard enforcement message indicating a temporary suspension for violating Twitch’s Community Guidelines. The suspension is not permanent, though Twitch has not publicly disclosed the duration. Zoe Spencer’s channel has also been suspended according to multiple reports.
The clips in question show Said being pulled into a room or onto a bed by two women during a group stream. In the footage, Said can be heard repeatedly saying “no” and attempting to resist. One woman climbs on top of him while the other appears to pull at his clothing. A voice in the background says something to the effect of “cut the cameras.”
The alleged assault happened months before the current suspensions. Enforcement came only after the clips gained renewed traction on social platforms and were discussed by larger creators in recent days. The delayed action has sparked criticism from viewers who question why Twitch waited until the content went viral again.
Twitch’s Community Guidelines explicitly prohibit sexual content involving non-consensual acts and sexual violence. The platform typically does not comment on individual enforcement decisions or provide details about suspension lengths. When channels are suspended, they display a generic message about Community Guidelines violations regardless of the specific infraction or duration.
Multiple creators were present during the original stream where the alleged assault took place. The broadcast was part of a collaborative IRL-style stream, a format where multiple content creators film together in shared spaces.
What happens next
Both suspended channels remain inaccessible as of publication. Twitch has not responded to requests for comment regarding the enforcement category or timeline. Representatives for Nina Lin and Zoe Spencer have not issued public statements about the suspensions.
The case highlights ongoing questions about how platforms handle serious misconduct that occurs during live broadcasts and whether enforcement comes too slowly when incidents require viral attention before action is taken.
