The Florida congressman is still being investigated following allegations of sex trafficking and a relationship with a 17-year old. He's denied the accusations.
The news outlet’s data comes from an internet extremism researcher who was granted anonymity “due to concerns over potential career repercussions from being associated with such a disturbing topic.” However, Bloomberg also indicated that they independently reviewed and confirmed aspects of the analysis.The anonymous researcher manually trawled through Twitch accounts and videos between October 2020 and August 2022 to identify predatory accounts on the platform.
The live chat aspect of Twitch has also led to some pretty unsettling interactions, and seemingly enables grooming. The news outlet cited multiple examples of this, including one where an 11 year-old girl received 650 live viewers at once. She was asked to show her legs on camera and to put on a “fashion show.”In a statement emailed to Bloomberg, a Twitch spokesperson responded that “Preventing child harm is one of our most fundamental responsibilities as a society.
The company also reportedly told Bloomberg that it has increased the size of its law enforcement response team focused on child exploitation, and that it has “numerous updates in development” to bar underage streamers and would-be-predators from the platform. Yet still, the details of the Bloomberg report suggest that whatever Twitch is doing, it isn’t enough.
