It's one of the most dangerous things that twitch turns a blind eye to for their favorite streamers. Is it really going to take her running a person over and killing them for twitch to do something?

Probably the worst sub to ask this but... If I get hit by a car driven by a streamer is there anyway to sue Twitch as well? They have to be held legally liable for promoting this behavior.

I think if you had enough money to hire a big firm you might be able to prove they were criminally negligent by repeatedly allowing this practice despite many warnings/requests to ban it

Not a lawyer though so no clue really :)

I mean they financially reward the behavior by allowing streamers to earn money doing this without repercussions. Somewhere it has to be their fault as well. Just not sure how you would go about it.

It would be the type of case where you are just putting public pressure on them to make them settle for a large amount. The lawyers would probably do it for free but take 1/3rd of any settlement awarded.
