Popular streaming platform Twitch brings new rules. After the increasing violence and disturbing developments recently, new regulations are at the door. With its statement, the platform aims to prevent the problems that occur.
Developing moves to protect against harassment, Twitch also announced new mandatory steps to users. The platform, which wants to offer a more transparent environment, will also ask users to verify their phones.
Twitch will prevent violence
Clarifying the new phone verification, Twitch stated that users cannot enter some chats without verification. However, the platform, which wants to offer a safer environment, mentioned the following in its statements:
Preventing and stopping violent behavior is our top priority. We believe the new measures will be effective in curbing all forms of chat-based harassment, including bot attacks. We are quite optimistic about this as well.
Publishers will also be able to benefit from the new measures introduced. The platform brings the ability to open email-approved chats to content creators. In this way, users will cease to be anonymous. In addition, publishers will be able to offer this verification issue exclusively to certain users.
Especially after the increasing channel bans recently, Twitch will act more protective with its new moves. With phone verification, it is aimed to prevent malicious people from opening a new account and manipulating the chat.
The platform, which started legal action due to similar complaints about the two accounts before these steps, brings the business to a more controlled state. Increasing bot attacks and actions taken by major channels have been damaging Twitch’s name for a while. The measures taken with the boycott initiated by users were met with a positive response at the first stage. The response of these events, which also affect the views on the platform owned by Amazon, is eagerly awaited. Let’s see if Twitch will be successful in establishing a cleaner structure by avoiding the glitches. We’ll wait and see.
So what do you think about the new measures coming to the platform? Do you think Twitch can provide a more transparent environment for increased harassment and violence? Or will they continue to lose their publishers? Do not forget to share your views with us.
