Many streamers broadcasting in Russian have, in addition to advertising betting casinos, a multitude of other ads on their streams, in their channel descriptions, and in their chats. They also advertise dubious Telegram channels through the chat or the channel description. If Twitch support isn't aware, then there is virtually no content moderation on Telegram from the platform's side, which allows terrorist groups to run channels or for materials featuring violence and drugs to be posted. How can Twitch be sure that nothing illegal is being advertised through Telegram on their channels? Who even moderates that advertising? Perhaps, aside from betting casinos, they also promote fraudulent schemes—maybe they even launder illegally obtained money through this advertising. And how can Twitch control and suppress such actions?
