Twitch is fined $57,000 by Russia

On January 31, a Russian court determined that Twitch must pay a $57,000 punishment for propagating what prosecutors dub “Fake Information.” Twitch was ordered to erase material relating to Russia’s continuing invasion of Ukraine.

Twitch, which debuted in June 2011, was primarily intended to be and is best recognised as a platform for video game live streaming. Twitch, on the other hand, provides a variety of material, including some live streamers who opt to cover news and politics in addition to other topics. This includes content makers documenting Ukraine’s continuing conflict, which has cost the lives of tens of thousands of people since the invasion started in February 2022.
