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.
