Several major companies withdraw advertising from Twitch due to antisemitism claims
|
[IsraelTimes] JPMorgan Chase, AT&T, and Dunkin have withdrawn their advertising from gaming and e-sports live-streaming platform Twitch due to complaints of antisemitism on the platform, Bloomberg reports.
Oil giant Chevron is also considering leaving the Amazon-owned platform, Bloomberg said.
The site has come under fire in recent months due to complaints it has allowed anti-Israel hate speech.
Last month, US Representative Ritchie Torres of New York called on Twitch to rein what he described as “an explosion of Jew-hatred” on the platform or risk Congressional scrutiny.
The Anti-Defamation League has also called on Twitch to do more to fight antisemitism on its platform.
In response to the report, Twitch told Bloomberg that it does not tolerate antisemitic content on its platform, saying it applies its guidelines “consistently and objectively” to all streamers.
