Why I'm leaving Twitch

The streaming platform Twitch has apologised to a former streamer after pornography was hosted on his page.

Ninja, who has 14.7 million followers, said he was "disgusted" after the top-listed streamer on his profile featured pornographic videos.

Twitch's CEO apologised to Ninja, saying: "The lewd content that appeared on the Ninja offline channel page grossly violates our terms of service. We've permanently suspended the account in question.

"We have also suspended [recommending other channels on Ninja's page] while we investigate how this content came to be promoted."

Padraig has been on Twitch since 2012, but says he is now leaving.
