Implement child-broadcasting PREVENTION measures.
Adopting industry-standard child broadcasting PREVENTION measures
to deter preteens from mobile streaming on Twitch (& predators targeting them):
✩ In short:
• Implement a 25-50 follower requirement for mobile broadcasting.
• Newcomer mobile-only adults can bypass this through ID-verification.
• Uniquely on Twitch (among other major livestreaming services),
underage users can presently pick up their phone, create an account and go live-streaming without restrictions – all in 2 minutes.
✩ In detail:
• 1. CONTEXT:
September 2022, Bloomberg report illustrates how Amazon's Twitch, uniquely so in contrast with competing broadcasting platforms,
leads the video-service industry in widescale child-livestreaming and consequent widespread predation.
– https://twitter.com/business/status/1572755069506056192
• 2. WHY:
– This is due to Twitch lacking child-broadcasting PREVENTION measures incorporated on other live-services.
– 280,000 mobile-broadcasting Twitch preteens have been targeted by predatory entities who manipulate, threaten, coerce, in real-time, towards broadcasted gestures or worse..
• 3. WHERE:
– Near totality of Twitch’s adult creatorbase is on computer.
– Nearly totality of Twitch's preteen broadcasting is on mobile.
• 4. WHAT:
The entirety of the widescale Twitch’s child-broadcasting issue ends overnight when it adopts vital PREVENTION measures:
The most effective of which is (standard on other live-services, extremely effective at deterring underage live-streaming)
✩ Mobile follower requirement (25-50 followers).
OR
✩ ID-Verification for Mobile streaming.
• 5. SAFETY & ACCESSIBILITY:
• Twitch is committed to having its service freely available to all users (of age), including adults who might first try their hand at streaming through mobile devices.
• The ID-Verification feature for MOBILE ONLY (increasingly adopted across social media) is the perfect happy medium permitting adults to stream on mobile without the required followers;
– While simultaneously ensuring child safety through crucial barriers.
✩ It is vital TWITCH urgently adopts this industry-standard MOBILE-streaming barrier to prevent preteens from freely broadcasting, and consequently being preyed upon.

I get what you want and why you want it. Kids deserve protection. but do you have anything other than a bloomberg post that was possibly written by the grifter known as Nick Kristoff and funded by hedgefund Billionare Bill Ackman and the "morality in media" christian far righters that rebranded as as NCOSE? All when they dont' protect kids and the sesta and fosta laws have been AWFUL?
NICK KRISTOFF did not help prevent child abuse and even lied in his op-ed. but still that got the panic going. Facebook has more issues with child predation. constantly. But since everyone uses it, no one seems to care.
do you have the hard data on all this?

It is crucial to prioritize child-broadcasting prevention measures to ensure online safety and compliance with regulations. Here are key strategies to implement:
Content Moderation: Implement robust content moderation tools and policies to detect and remove any inappropriate content involving minors promptly.
User Verification here https://cashmachine777.us/: Require thorough user verification processes to authenticate the age and identity of users accessing platforms where broadcasting occurs.

A 2023 update & addendum:
• Twitch since released a Safety Blog:
https://safety.twitch.tv/s/article/Our-Work-to-Combat-Online-Grooming
Through which, in general terms, it expressed aim in identifying & combating:
– predators.
– grooming.
occurring on the platform.※ A Twitch response that SIDESTEPS THE MAIN CONCERN.
▪ There exists not a single sentence in this (now two part) safety blog-post,
issued after the Twitch-specific widespread-child-broadcasting (consequent predation) article, that addresses the core, most important issue at hand:
▪ Twitch uniquely lacks the industry-standard BARRIERS to PREVENT underage streamers going live to begin with.
▪ Which, naturally, is the very first prevention measure in combating child-harm.※ INEFFECTIVE CHANGES & A TWITCH GROWING PROBLEM.
1. Refining user-report technology is ineffective, as conscientious persons don't scour towards finding Twitch preteens, only predatory entities do. The majority of underage streaming children never get flagged.
2. Language processing AI is ineffective, as predatory entities are cunning & undetectable in their (goal-orientated) written communication. Vulturous persons who get banned simply return immediately under new (undetectable) accounts.
3. Single Factor Authentication for Livestreaming doesn't prevent new preteens from – in less than 1 minute — signing up on their phone, and hitting the go live button. With no barriers, uniquely so on Twitch.
4. The referenced expert child-safety orgs directly advised Twitch to adopt the mobile-broadcasting prevention measure highlighted in this UserVoice/The Bloomberg article. To no avail.
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
※ A CONTINUED, MEASURABLY INCREASING TWITCH ISSUE.
As reflected in the follow-up article:
▪ Because these changes are wholly ineffective, and don't tackle the root unrestricted child-streaming cause:
▪ New Twitch broadcasting preteens, hundreds of them per day, continue to be preyed upon on Twitch;
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-22/amazon-s-twitch-makes-changes-to-prevent-child-predation
▪"YouTube and TikTok both require users to possess a certain number of followers before livestreaming on mobile devices"
▪"A new analysis of the predatory accounts in the data set, these accounts are still finding and following on average hundreds of apparent children a day"※ CLEAR-CUT SOLUTION THAT ENDS TWITCH-PRETEEN-BROADCASTING.
This Twitch UserVoice suggestion foremost is NOT addressing on-platform grooming, nor detection of existing children.
✓ It tackles the necessary (present & extremely effective on competing livestreaming services) mobile broadcasting safety measures which PREVENT new preteens from going live on Twitch.1. This is the comparison between livestreaming platforms:
▪ https://i.imgur.com/GHQV2CL.png
▪ “If you want to go LIVE on TikTok, you have to be 16 years old or older and have more than 1,000 followers.”
▪ “To live stream on [YouTube] mobile, you’ll need: At least 50 subscribers.”
✓ Clearly demonstrating how this is a unique Twitch vulnerability, one solved through Mobile (only) follower requirement;2. And this is the industry-standard social media verification for phone-only broadcasting newcomer adults:
▪ https://i.imgur.com/PDLNJza.png
▪ Instagram: Video Selfie or ID
▪ YouTube: Credit Card or ID
✓ This one-time adult check skips the 50 follower mobile barrier.
✓ Restricts mobile streaming preteens.
✓ Allows access to creators of age aiming to begin phone-streaming on Twitch.
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
※ THE CONCLUSION — THE RESPONSIBLE CHOICE:▪ Amazon's Twitch uniquely leads the world in unbarriered child broadcasting, on Mobile devices.
– Because it lacks the industry standard prevention measure.
▪ 99% of Twitch broadcasting is Desktop, 99% of Preteen Twitch broadcasting is Mobile.
▪ Global predatory entities converge on Twitch specifically because of unbarriered, child mobile - streaming.
▪ Every single day, measurably so, they continue to prey upon hundreds of new, unique, broadcasting preteens.✓ All other leading Livestreaming services have a Mobile barrier in place to prevent preteen mobile streaming.
✓ Amazon's Twitch can fully, overnight, end its specific child-broadcasting (& predation) unique problem, through the mobile-follower requirement.
– While simultaneously permitting newcomer mobile-only adults to stream through a single minute-long age-check.That's it. This is NOT a ubiquitous social media grooming problem.
This is an Amazon's Twitch unique, unrestricted child-access tech-platform vulnerability. A fully fixable vulnerability.
Every single day lacking the crucial mobile-phone barriers to deter NEW preteens from freely going live on Twitch,
means leaving the door open for irreparable tragedy to occur.
