Twitch, Amazon's streaming unit, will terminate all members of its Safety Advisory Council on Friday, May 30, according to sources and documents reviewed by CNBC. The council, which has been in place for four years, consisted of experts, streamers, and moderators who consulted on trust and safety issues such as children on Twitch, nudity, and 'hate raids.' This decision comes amid more than a year of belt-tightening and layoffs across the tech industry, particularly affecting safety and ethics teams. Twitch plans to replace the council with streamers.
