Twitch declares that “Zionist” is a slur, will issue bans for criticizing “individuals” based on their “religious beliefs or background” (genocide, settler colonialism)
Implications for leftist streamers like HasanAbi
potentially establishing precedents for mass removal and censorship of anti-genocide organizing and education on other major social media platforms

This is particularly absurd when Zionists themselves proudly call themselves that and have written almost a century of political and cultural theory on the subject.
It would be like banning the term neoliberal as a slur.
