Twitch shamed into action over hate-raids

Between the lines: A Twitter-based movement dubbed "Twitch Do Better" has been making the rounds for several days, after streamer RekItRaven posted a clip of its viewer chat being filled with comments such as "this channel now belongs to the KKK."

• Its experience wasn't unique. Streamer Omega Jones shared a clip on Tuesday in which he's playing a game, only to see his chat filled with the N-word.
• "Twitch, do f--king better, end of story," he said.

In a four-tweet acknowledgment of the problem, Twitch vowed to have "an open and ongoing dialogue about creator safety."

• The company says it identified and is fixing a problem with its "proactive" chat filters and will roll out "channel-level ban evasion detection and account verification improvements" before the end of the year.
