Twitch Disbands Safety Advisory Council Team

Twitch has allegedly disbanded its entire Safety Advisory Council team, according to reports. An email obtained by CNBC reveals that team members were informed of the termination of their contracts, effective immediately, with no payment to be received for the remainder of the year. A Twitch spokesperson has confirmed that the Safety Advisory Council will persist, albeit with a revised composition, primarily consisting of Twitch ambassadors who will bring novel and diverse viewpoints to the table. The council, established in 2020, initially comprised nine online safety experts and Twitch partners tasked with developing and updating policies, creating new products, and safeguarding marginalized groups. Further clarification on this development is being sought from Twitch.
