Twitch streamer reduced to tears after return from accidental doxxing ban

Twitch IRL streamer GiannieLee was left in a flood of tears after making her long-awaited return to the livestreaming platform following a ban for accidentally doxxing someone’s phone number.

Back on October 4, the popular IRL [in-real life streamer] received a 30-day ban from Twitch after showing a text message from her phone on-stream, which also happened to include someone else’s phone number. 

In the meantime, GiannieLee discovered that, unlike some other Twitch partners, she was able to stream on other platforms – leading her to broadcast live on both YouTube and Mixer at different points in time. However, the streamer was always going to come back to the platform she calls home, which would obviously prompt fans to flood her channel with their support.
