PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Blocks 322,000 Cheaters (pcgamer.com)

The new anti-cheating system installed in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has been banning more than 6,000 suspected cheaters every day. An anonymous reader quotes PC Gamer: That's according to BattlEye, which polices the game's servers. Its official account tweeted yesterday that between 6,000 and 13,000 players are getting their marching orders daily. On Saturday morning, it had cracked down on nearly 20,000 players within the previous 24-hour period... In total, the service has blocked 322,000 people, double the number that was reported by the game's creator Brendan Greene, aka PlayerUnknown, last month.
Yesterday the game had more than 2.2 million concurrent players.

This is a free speech issue. I mean if players can get banned for this “cheating” where does it stop? First they came for aimbots, but I didn't speak up, because I didn't use aimbot. You know where this poem is going. Besides, if a service can use it's arbitrary power, they can go after you for whatever reason!
I'm sorry for trolling.
