This is the leftist talk show streamer's fifth ban

Doesn't a ban imply a ban, i.e. permanent removal? This seems like a suspension.

Twitch does this quite often, I don't know why they get called bans either. Nonpermanent "bans" are a thing, but in the case of a widely used service like Twitch I think it'd make more sense to call them suspensions like you said.

Nonpermanent “bans” are a thing

I mean from a linguistic perspective. A ban is permanent (or at least long-term in the since that it might take a very long time for a ban to be removed).
