TW: Violence, death, psychological trauma

In this week's episode, we cover the rise in harassment Twitch streamers have been facing in recent months. We look at the two deadliest forms of harassment— doxxing and swatting— and explore why these have become so common on Twitch, how they pose a real safety threat to streamers and their families, and what the platform is doing to stop them. We also share come tragic case studies— one where a streamer was forced to permanently move countries, and another when an innocent person was shot and killed as the result of these harassments.
