Scripts for contacting congress about twitch antisemitism

Subject Request for Congressional Investigation into Antisemitism at Twitch

Introduction:

Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [Your City/State]. 

I am reaching out to urge [Senator/Representative] [Name] to investigate systemic antisemitism at Twitch, the largest video streaming platform in America, owned by Amazon, for promoting, condoning, and engaging in antisemitism and extreme anti-Israel bias.

Key Points:

1. It was recently discovered that Twitch has been secretly blocking new accounts from being created in Israel for nearly a year, in violation of U.S. anti-BDS laws. This sort of "geo" ban, has never been seen by a company like Twitch before.
2. Twitch continues to platform extremist creators like Hasan Piker, the platform's longstanding #1 politics streamer, who frequently spreads antisemitic rhetoric and justifies violence against Jews and Israelis. He’s even interviewed a Houthi terrorist live on stream to 2.7M followers and happily played a Houthi music video on his channel. 
3. Despite public backlash, Twitch has allowed such content, including hosting an event featuring a “racial tier list” that placed Jews at the bottom.

Requests:

I urge [Senator/Representative] [Name] to:

1. Call for a congressional hearing to investigate Twitch’s actions and whether they violated U.S. laws.
2. Request testimony from Twitch’s CEO, Dan Clancy, and streamers Hasan Piker, and the recently banned antisemitic streamer Frogan.

Conclusion:

Please address this issue as soon as possible. Twitch’s actions are not only discriminatory but illegal and dangerous, and Congress must investigate. Thank you for your time.
