I think they're gonna pull another "Mahmoud Khalil" on Hasan Piker soon.

I doubt they care about citizenship at this point

I dunno, Hasan has a pretty big platform. I think they realize that would be a mistake... They might target his family though.

The platform would not do anything people who watch him will less likely to do anything other than watching reaction of other streamer about his arrest

They'll cite that Call of Duty where the bad guy is a Muslim named Hasan, and the first like 5 times you think you're going to catch him it's actually someone watching his livestream.

You think I'm joking, but in the run up to the Iraq war, the brits literally cited an action movie from 1996 and said "Iraq has this [fictional] weapon"
