Blizzard and Twitch to Tackle Livestream Racism

Blizzard is working alongside Twitch to create a pilot programme to combat livestream racism, harassment, and abuse.

Twitch moderator Carling “toastthebadger” Filewich believes the main problem was there simply wasn’t enough moderators to contain what was happening.

“We’re extremely disappointed by the hateful, offensive language used by some of the online viewers during the DreamHack Austin event the weekend before last,” says Blizzard president Mike Morhaime to Polygon.
