The “Clips” feature on popular streaming platform Twitch is being exploited by online predators to target and victimise minors.
This alarming development has raised serious concerns about the safety and security of young users on the platform, according to a report.
The “Clips” feature on Twitch allows users to create short video clips from live streams, making it a popular tool for content creators and viewers to capture and share memorable moments.
However, this feature has been manipulated by individuals with malicious intentions to exploit minors on the platform.
Online predators have been using these clips to record and distribute inappropriate content involving minors, often without their knowledge or consent.
This disturbing trend has come to light as concerned users and parents have reported such incidents to Twitch and law enforcement agencies.
Twitch has acknowledged the issue and is working to strengthen its moderation and reporting mechanisms to combat the exploitation of minors on the platform.
However, the incident has raised questions about the overall safety of online platforms for young users and the responsibility of tech companies in protecting vulnerable individuals.
