35-year-old Matthew “Dellor” Vaughn is an American YouTuber and Twitch streamer who is always in the public eye. Twitch has now banned him for publishing someone’s address. This is called “doxxing” and is generally frowned upon. But Dellor only seemed to want to defend himself. On Twitter he describes how stalkers have been making his life hell for 4 years.
Who is this?
What was he banned for now? Dellor was banned from Twitch on October 16 for posting someone’s address.
Dellor says stalkers have been making his life a living hell for the past 4 years
How did that happen: Eight days before the ban, on October 8th, Dellor had already written on Twitter that someone had been stalking him for a long time: the person had come to his house more often and threatened him.
But the stalker has now made a mistake and so Dellor now has all of his personal information – license plate number, name, address, everything. He already threatened to publish the data back then.
Then on October 12th he wrote that he no longer felt safe in his house.

This is how things escalated: After his ban, Dellor justified himself on Twitter. He says the situation escalated before he made the personal information public:
Streamer says he knew it was wrong – but did what he did
That’s what he says about the ban: He says he did something stupid and he knew it was stupid the moment he did it. He had a really bad night.
Dellor apparently felt helpless; he reported all incidents to the police and the FBI, but received no help.
It’s not fair that I have to sit here and have my life ruined by people who have no sense of decency when I use every legal opportunity to fight back. This is America and I don’t feel comfortable in my house. That’s why I did what I did.
Some people are now calling for him to be unbanned on Twitch, but Dellor is currently still banned.
