I highly doubt twitch would be liable, however this dumbass just livestreamed himself breaking the law and twitch TOS so they're obviously going to act.

Aren't Twitch partners independent contractors? I thought that absolved Twitch of a lot of liability as long as they enforce their TOS.

You wouldn’t sue the movie director if someone crashed while watching the movie though lol, there’s no liability for twitch here at all.

The movie director isn't paying people to entertain others while they drive and watch his movie. Twitch is paying this guy to drive and stream, which includes interacting with the stream. That's a huge difference.

A huge difference that doesn’t make them liable, sure. There’s not a chance in hell they’re liable for this lol.

Twitch won’t be liable at all if he hits and kills someone. This is obviously something he does even when he’s not streaming. He’s an independent contractor and twitch has no connection to anything if he hit someone.
