Too Long; Didn't Read

Twitch has expanded its rules to include off-platform “misconduct” that breaks its rules and could result in a ban from the streaming service even when it doesn’t occur on their platform. The company says it has partnered with a third-party investigative law firm to vet the reports it receives. This news comes as an increasing number of big tech companies increase their reach into various aspects of digital life and try to suppress freedom of speech as the guardians of free speech. Decentralized platforms are essential to protect netizens from the threats of censorship, surveillance, blockages, and other methods.
