Twitch has started to ban streamers who have been accused of sexual abuse. The livestreaming service has announced plans to take action against several prominent streamers. The action has been taken shortly after the tech company promised it would investigate some recent allegations. In a statement, Twitch said: "We are reviewing each case that has come to light as quickly as possible while ensuring appropriate due diligence as we assess these serious allegations. "We've prioritised the most severe cases and will begin issuing permanent suspensions in line with our findings immediately." Twitch also insisted the safety of gamers remains a priority for the company. The statement read: "We're also committed to continuing our efforts to make Twitch a safer environment with more tools to combat harassment and hate. "We have work underway including a review of our Hateful Conduct and Harassment policies, enhanced offensive username detection, improvements to AutoMod and our Banned Words list, and other projects focused on reducing harassment and hateful conduct."
