Require phone verification to stream to combat Phishing scams and illegal activities
We currently have phone verification to message other people.
However we don't have phone verification for accounts to stream.
I've seen thousands of burner streams that can make new accounts in minutes so they can stream phishing scams and other illegal behavior, sometimes it can take hours to maybe Twitch to do something about it, and if they do they can make a new account in minutes.
I've personally flagged over a thousand of these accounts (I have the lists to prove it)
Some of these accounts I've reported with the game rules specifically that RWT isn't allowed but got automated responses stating Twitch saw nothing wrong.
It's gotten so bad that now they run multiple of them at a time like a revolving door of burner accounts.
There is my idea, but Twitch won't do anything as they're friendly to this illicit group now. Sad.
