Are you suggesting that Twitch should ignore accounts that violate the ToS, so long as it was a computer that violated the terms as opposed to a person?

Computers can't violate terms, not unless we start recognizing their personhood.

They can't own accounts and they can't decide what content is shown any more than the rain can decide if my dog gets wet.

So the notion of people being absolved of responsibility for the procsses they set in motion is absurd.
