Twitch may seem like a small community for sharing video game strategies, but adults need to be more aware of the info kids are sharing on streaming services, research shows.
Do you know who is watching your kids on Twitch? You probably don’t — nor do your kids — and often anonymous viewers can get users’ personal information from watching them stream on the service, according to new research. Twitch is an online streaming service in which users can live stream their gaming, music and other creative content.
“I know that doesn’t necessarily affect the actions of young users who are excited to be on the internet and want to be a part of the community.” Viewers can interact with streamers, and sometimes they can even send money with messages attached, Dubrosa said. But Twitch can be a place for people to form community, she said.
