Following a summer of increased levels of harassment directed towards marginalized streamers and solidifying organizing among creators on the platform, Twitch has taken its largest step in protecting streamers by introducing phone-verified chat.
The new, optional feature gives additional chat filters that can require “some or all users” to verify their accounts phone number before they can use a channelschat. Viewers will only need to verify their phone or email once, and a single phone number can verify up to five accounts, but a site-wide suspension or per channel ban will result in all accounts sharing that number to be banned (a move aimed at curbing the use of bots in hate raids).
