Hatred of Twitch is a current problem that affects many streamers. For this reason, a guide was developed in collaboration with TeamKompass and Webedia to protect Twitch streamers from hate and other threats.
Hatred of Twitch is a topic that is still very present. There are now even entire groups that ensure that 132 streamers have been swatted by the police.
For this reason, a guide for Twitch streamers has been created in collaboration with the organization TeamKompass and Webedia to provide you with the best possible protection from such cases and e.g. B. Preserve hate raids.
