I'm pretty sure there is law enforcement for that?

"In the course of investigating those problem users, Twitch COO Sara Clemens tells WIRED, Twitch’s moderation and law enforcement teams learned how challenging it is to review and make decisions based on users’ behavior IRL or on other platforms like Discord. “We realized that not having a policy to look at off-service behavior was creating a threat vector for our community that we had not addressed,” says Clemens. Today, Twitch is announcing its solution: an off-services policy. In partnership with a third-party law firm, Twitch will investigate reports of offenses like sexual assault, extremist behavior, and threats of violence that occur off-stream."

“Investigating off-platform behavior requires a high capacity for investigation, finding evidence that can be verifiable. It’s difficult to standardize.”

"For privacy reasons, Clemens would not provide details on which law firm it had contracted to conduct these investigations, but noted that they specialize in sensitive investigations. One of its biggest challenges will be verifying allegations against top streamers."

I have no problem with them monitoring their platform and if someone makes a viable threat or illegal act on it, removing them and reporting them to authorities.

They are talking about sending out their own investigators to monitor your life off of the platform. How anyone would want big tech using investigators to follow you around and examine your life is beyond absurd.

BTW - they won't release who they're sending out to spy on you - "for privacy reasons". Your privacy though, doesn't matter. See the duplicitousness of that?

This should scare the living shit out of everyone.

Yep, Twitch is now on the way out. And yes, this is just a version of the Social Credit Score.

Yup, social media platforms are going to verify illegal acts and extremism are legitimate before reporting to authorities. All your collusion, plans and hate speech are going to be evidence turned over to law enforcement. Great day for America, the fight against extremism has gotten another ally.

Mostly just the shady ones. Mostly.

The rest of us who aren't doing nefarious shit could give a flying fuck.

It takes a special type of person to think that the reporting of criminal acts or suspicious activities only applies to foreigners. I'm sure McVeigh, Kaczynski, Mateen, and every other domestic terrorist deserves every opportunity to commit crimes, because as the tinfoil hat club here would have you believe, preventing atrocities before they occur is straight up unconstitutional

Your stupidity really is amazing.

Actually you should.

This has nothing to do with "nefarious shit". This has to do with unlicensed monitoring by a private entity over your life. One that they control because of your exposure due to technology.

This isn't a red, blue, or independent thing. This is a whole of society thing.

If you think they won't come for you or someone you care about, you're not paying attention.

"The deal valued at $19.7 billion, Microsoft’s largest since it bought LinkedIn in 2016 for more than $26 billion, will give the Redmond, Washington-based company a big boost in what is expected to be a years-long race against fellow tech giants Amazon (AMZN) and Google (GOOG, GOOGL) to develop health care technology."

"Twitch is an American video live streaming service that focuses on video game live streaming, including broadcasts of esports competitions. In addition, it offers music broadcasts, creative content, and more recently, "in real life" streams. It is operated by Twitch Interactive, a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc.[2] "

You getting it yet? Trying to lead you to water here, but if I have to keep pointing out every step that's occurring, and will be attempted in the near future... it's going to get tiring.

Here's another little piece for you... do the research and connect the dots yourself. I'm giving you starting points.

Then tie it all together through the current technology/media platforms used. You'll get there eventually.

Social media platforms don't need a license to monitor your activity, nor do they need your ongoing consent to outsource content reviews to a third party. You signed their TOC when you created your account, you don't get a choice to revoke consent, but you can leave the platform.

Don't do illegal activities and you're fine.
