Popular streamers get special treatment, no matter their gender. There was a streamer at E3 who was streaming from the public bathrooms, including a bunch of random people going to the bathroom on his stream (which is a crime in California). There were ~12 twitch staff members watching his stream while it was going on, and they didn't do anything about it until he turned off the stream. Meanwhile, smaller streamers that do things like have Maroon 5 playing in the background while they stream will get instantly banned for copyright infringement. Twitch is one of the worst sites I've ever seen when it comes to arbitrary enforcement of rules based on how popular the streamer is.
I keep seeing people say this, but is it true? Is there a special law in California against recording in a bathroom? To be clear, I don't see that one has an expectation of privacy outside of the stall in a public bathroom.
