Part 9/10:
One of the most highlighted issues remains Twitch’s failure to prioritize creator and viewer safety. The incident at TwitchCon exemplifies how corporate negligence can have dangerous real-world consequences. When an attacker approached a public figure, Twitch security failed to act promptly, with staff allegedly dismissing the threat outright.
Community safety experts and content creators alike have emphasized the need for better regulation, higher security standards, and mature organizational behavior. The current state of Twitch is seen by many as a reflection of its leadership's juvenile approach, driven by corporate interests and a lack of accountability.
