In a federal lawsuit filed last week, Twitch accuses 100 unnamed defendants of breaking its terms of service by flooding the site's directory of Artifact game streams with inappropriate content, including "a video of the March 2019 Christchurch mosque attack, hardcore pornography, copyrighted movies and television shows, and racist and misogynistic videos."
Inappropriate or irrelevant streams are nothing new on Twitch, of course. The company's Trust and Safety team uses a variety of moderation tools to take down streams that violate the site's terms of service and ban the users behind them. But the company is taking the added step of a lawsuit in this case because, according to the complaint, "Defendants’ actions threatened and continue to threaten Twitch and the safety of the Twitch community."
Outside of New Zealand this is just going to get thrown out of court.

People should stop doing this now that they've caught on. It was funny as hell for the first week or two but it's so obvious now that it's become such a phenomenon.
Lucas Russell
no keep doing it more lol

At this point, we need an R-Rated Streaming Channel. Twitch is too kid-friendly at this point to really stick to pleasing everybody, so a new Twitch where everybody is allowed everything seems like a bright idea (18+ Users Only).
Anybody else?
Cooper Mitchell
No we should just keep doing it on twitch, court is going to site all the irrelevent and 18+ streams in the past, say "ya dun goofed" and then tell them how much the court fees were.
Michael Rivera
Compete waste of time. It's the site's responsibility to remove such users. They let some users stay for weeks. I hope twitch suffers for this frivolity and lack of responsibility

Thats the sort of content that would encourage me to watch Twitch.
Patreon whores are already such a problem on twitch, it'll just become worse that way.
Hudson Reyes
d live is where the more "kid" unfriendly people are going.
Christopher Fisher
patreon whores are everywhere. Jewtube too. Twitch has been shit since 2008
Jose Davis
lol
Austin Lopez
you cannot be "kid unfriendly" on dlive. It takes 2 of the tranny global mods to report you for a ban.

Did twitch intentionally violate copyright law in order to collect evidence? Doesn't twitch have a fiduciary duty to remove that content and ban those who are violating it as soon as they're aware of it? Lmao if twitch broke the law to try and get some internet lawlsuits which will go nowhere
Henry Brooks
Yes, they allowed some streams to remain for hours or even days.
Grayson Wood

Brandon Jackson
Yep that won't devolve into degenerate debauchery user no camwhore will ever take full advantage and turn it into a pornsite
Eli Garcia

Isaac Hernandez
It causes spontaneous homosexuality.
Jayden Brooks

Camden White

Cameron Perez
fuck off dispatch
Connor Diaz
wouldn't that make the video uploaders its employees? and that in turn mean they essentially did not paid the taxes of the thotaudit themselves? did they just admitted to something?
Henry Thompson
Imagine being such a pathetic fucking company such as Twitch and not only being complete shit at moderation, but then suing people because your company can't just ban them like any normal one would.
