• Twitch on Friday will end the contracts for all members of its Safety Advisory Council, a resource made up of industry experts, streamers and moderators, who consulted on trust and safety issues.
  • The council has advised Twitch on “drafting new policies and policy updates,” “developing products and features to improve safety and moderation” and “protecting the interests of marginalized groups,” per a company webpage.
  • On May 6, council members were called into a meeting after receiving an email that all existing contracts would conclude on May 31, 2024, and that they would not receive payment for the second half of 2024.

      They’ve done that already. I’ve actually gotten banned twice because their AI tool thought I was harassing a streamer. Both reversed almost immediately after an appeal. Guess those appeals may no longer have people responding to them…

    Tough to cash russian disinfo checks in the run up to the election when there are watchdogs. Probably salivating over the rubles facebook, xitter, and reddit are raking in.
