Twitch Replaces Safety Advisory Council with New Ambassador Program

The streaming platform shifts from expert-led advice to community-driven safety efforts amid ongoing cost-cutting measures.

Twitch has terminated all nine members of its Safety Advisory Council, effective May 31, 2024.
The council, formed in 2020, included cyberbullying experts and community members to enhance trust and safety policies.
New safety efforts will be led by Twitch Ambassadors, selected for their positive contributions to the community.
The move follows significant layoffs and financial challenges faced by Twitch in recent years.
It remains unclear if the new ambassadors will be compensated for their roles.
