Twitch Faces Potential Lawsuit Over Distracted Driver Streamers
Professional streamer Asmongold has called for legal action against Twitch, citing the risk of fatal accidents from streamers driving while live broadcasting. The issue gained attention after a clip aired on August 3rd featuring a sleeping streamer behind the wheel.
The practice of streaming from the road is not new; however, recent months have seen several near-crashes by streamers. Twitch has tightened its rules regarding safe streaming practices but still allows temporary bans for violations.
Why This Matters
Twitch’s revenue from these activities makes them partially responsible if accidents occur. Asmongold argues they are profiting while ignoring this liability.
