Why does the TOS not apply to content creaters and streamers

@E9ine_AC  the ingame report for cheating does not even work, do you really think EA would ban a streamer with 10k views If I reported them in game when they breached the TOS?

Since I am seeing that happen on a daily basis, I would assume atleast one reporting them. And EA being EA, "well we will lose our free marketing, pass"

@NitromethaneAP I assure you even if big time streamers are breaking the rules they would get backlash from the cmpany. In game reporting does work for cheaters. Problem is false flags. People who are salty and legit die to someone with skill to have the salty person report them for aimbot because they are not as good and cant comprehend someone can have that good of aim.

    @E9ine_AC  and I can assure you that it is not happening today, I can show you multiple videos of streamers using the ingame voice/chat and breaking the TOS multiple times - I will send that in the report and lets see if that streamer even gets a warning, deal?

    Meanwhile if it was just a normal player, indeed they would get punished. Since EA has nothing to lose to enforce the TOS in that situation. Meaning the TOS only really applies to people who arent too famous for it to impact EA negatively - then indeed the TOS stands. Great company values.

      @NitromethaneAPI have stated it twice. If that user is not reported by those in their party then the user has broke no rules. You will not be able to play white knight savior on this one. Only way rules can be broke is if they are actually reported for it. As someone with many big name friends who stream I can assure you they do get warnings / actions taken against them.

      Streamers do not remotely get a out of jail free car. They are treated like normal people would be. Wtihout those in their party reporting them though there is nothing that can be done. TOS team also has a job to do and its not to govern twitch. Thats up to twitch.

        @E9ine_AC  so the person in their party has to report it for it to be breaking the TOS? I cant report it? What? Thats not how it works. If someone breaches the TOS and is not reported, and evidence is showned after - that user will and should be punished.

        Streamers actually get a lot of free jail cards, the bigger you are - the bigger the benifits.

        We can see on a daily basis that the TOS is being breached by some very popular streamers, yet nothing ever happens to them. And you are here to tell me I cant report them - only if im in the party and they are cursing me?
