The entirety of Twitch’s source code with comment history “going back to its early beginnings”.VGC provided this list of what’s in the data dump: That includes the source code for Twitch, which is owned by Amazon. Multiple outlets, including VGC and The Verge, as well as one of VGC’s anonymous company sources, have verified that the data thief got away with the real deal: All the files mentioned on 4chan are legitimate and are publicly available to download. One user who goes by “Raven” and uses the pronouns she and they, told CNN that the hate raids have only intensified since she started to tweet videos with the hashtag #TwitchDoBetter. The protest followed repeated “hate raids” – streams in which dozens of identical racist slurs appear in a live chat. Venture Beat reported that the boycott led to the platform’s worst day so far this year, in terms of viewer hours. Twitch’s announcement came days after Black and LGBTQ Twitch streamers, fed up with torrents of racist and transphobic hate, boycotted the service for 24 hours in the # ADayOffTwitch protest. It also said at the time that it was planning to launch channel-level ban-evasion detection and account-verification improvements later this year.

Twitch said that it had identified and patched a vulnerability in its “proactive” filters that should help it to better detect hate speech in chat. That includes an open and ongoing dialogue about creator safety. You’re asking us to do better, and we know we need to do more to address these issues. We’ve seen a lot of conversation about botting, hate raids, and other forms of harassment targeting marginalized creators. In August, Twitch responded to what it described as “botting, hate raids and other forms of harassment targeting marginalized creators.”

S/he’s not all wrong, by Twitch’s own admission. They called the leak a means to “foster more disruption and competition in the online-video streaming space,” because “their community is a disgusting toxic cesspool.” Whoever’s responsible for gutting the service that’s near and dear to gamers’ hearts rationalized it by saying that the Twitch community needs to have the wind knocked out of its lungs.
