Latest Policy Findings: 2026-06-10

Twitch feels social first, but chat, clips, and ad-tech make it much less private than a simple streaming app might suggest.

Strongest: User Control
75/100

Twitch is strongest where users still get workable controls for account visibility, deletion, and how some content or chat history is handled.

Weakest: AI Training
45/100

Its weakest area is the tracking and engagement layer, where ads, chat behavior, VODs, clips, and connected accounts all widen exposure.
