Livestreaming service Twitch has announced that it will implement more safety measures to protect marginalized streamers from further harassment.

The announcement was made on Twitter after the hashtag #twitchdobetter trended earlier this week, drawing attention to the harassment faced by Black creators.

Twitch has said it has discovered a vulnerability in its proactive filters and has updated them to close the gap and better detect hate speech in chat.

As several comments in the Twitter thread show, the harassment comes in the form of hate speech in chats and bypasses existing filters by using non-Latin characters. The update aims to fix this problem by better detecting these characters.
