The CEO of Patreon has taken to YouTube to explain why they closed down recently the Patreons of people like IGD and Lauren Southern, explaining their Policy about inciting or participating in activities that can cause harm or death.
Lauren's patreon was closed down because she took part of Defend Europe Mission operations, which attempts to block ship that rescues refugees. She claimed she had nothing to do with them and was only observing, but Patreon has clips exposing her activities with Defend Europe Mission, directly instructing the ship operator how to block the rescue ships. She has also said in an interview that she would keep doing so. "If Politicians won't stop the boats, we'll stop the boats."
As for IGD, they have taken part in other activities such as covering train tracks with cement. They apparently warn train operators of this, but those actions can still cause harm and for those reasons IGD was also banned from Patreon.
He also expresses a desire to be more transparent about those issues in the future.
TLDR: This isn't about politics. This is about people who take actions that can cause harm or death and doing it as part of their content creation. They don't care if you are left or right or whatever. If your content creation hints or shows you taking part in activities that can cause harm or casualties, you're out.
