Twitch Seeks to Take Two Hate Raid Leaders to Court

in Streamers
September 14, 2021
  • As hate raids continue to be a problem, Twitch has filed a lawsuit against users Cruzzcontrol and CreatineOverdose
  • The streaming platform hopes to find the two bot makers’ identities and put them against the law
  • Twitch will demand the two harassers to respond for their crimes and pay up the monetary damages

Twitch takes serious action to crack down on two bot makers’ identities and have them sued in court over hate raids.

Twitch Takes Legal Action Against Raids’ Ringleaders

As such a big streaming platform, Twitch has had its fair share of toxicity, with many ill-intended people preying on minorities. The rate at which it spreads has been increasing over the last few months, with attackers becoming cleverer in bypassing Twitch’s filters and defenses.

Streamers have been increasingly disgruntled with the platform’s inability to restrain the perpetrators. Some content creators have gone as far as organizing a one-day boycott by the name #ADayOffTwitch as a sign that they have had enough.

With no other options, Twitch has decided to take the raid ringleaders to court and is now seeking the real-life identities of two of the people who are believed to be behind many of the organized cyber attacks. Twitch hopes that the legal system will help to identify the two malicious users.

 “We hope this Complaint will shed light on the identity of the individuals behind these attacks and the tools that they exploit, dissuade them from taking similar behaviors to other services, and help put an end to these vile attacks against members of our community,” a Twitch representative stated in a report from WIRED.

Twitch pointed out the two users which it wants to sue. They go by the online aliases Cruzzcontrol and CreatineOverdose. Both of them are believed to live in Europe, with Curzzcontrol in the Netherlands and CreatineOverdose in Austria.

“The malicious actors involved have been highly motivated in breaking our Terms of Service, creating new waves of fake bot accounts designed to harass Creators even as we continually update our sitewide protections against their rapidly evolving behaviors,” the statement published by WIRED continues.

Twitch Was Left With No Other Options

Twitch tried banning the users but they went on to make alternative accounts and continued their bad behavior. According to the lawsuit, the two of them have not only harassed streamers but are also behind instances of botting where algorithm-powered accounts have unleashed a barrage of spam upon various chats.  Cuzzcontrol himself is believed to be behind 3000 malicious bots.

If found Cuzzcontrol and CreatineOverdose will have to defend themselves against the streaming platform whose terms and conditions they have broken. Twitch will also pursue having the perpetrators pay up the monetary damages and the lawsuit fees.

Twitch will use everything at its disposal to find the true identities behind the two bot makers. The platform has carried out lawsuits against bot-makers in 2016 and won. It now hopes to replicate this success and by extension to discourage people from abusing its content creators.

Twitch cannot permit itself not to take action at this time. The platform has already been receiving user backlash on several other instances with streamers leaving because of insufficient pay and some migrating to YouTube Gaming and has a lot of work to do if it wants to keep its crown.
