Twitch crackdown on 'view-bots' includes a lawsuit against seven of their
makers

Twitch is suing seven bot-makers whose wares artificially inflate viewer and
follower counts of the livestreaming service's members. The action was
announced as part of a general declaration of Twitch policy against such
abuses.
"We at Twitch are well aware that view-bots follow-bots and chat-impersonation
bots are a persistent frustration," said Matthew DiPietro, Twitch's senior
vice
president for marketing. "Exploited by a small minority, these services have
created a very real problem that has damaging effects across our entire
community."
DiPietro noted that bots are not always used by Twitch streamers to boost
their
viewership numbers. Some are "used to harass other broadcasters in order to
attempt to deny them [Twitch] partnership, or get their channel suspended."
Twitch attributed the bots to "a handful of sellers," and said on Friday that
it is taking legal action against those who are most active in selling them.
(An abridged link Twitch provided to its legal complaint had expired as of
publication. PC Gamer, however, said it alleged trademark infringement, unfair
competition, cybersquatting, fraud, breach of contract and tortious
interference among the seven defendants.)
"Ultimately, though, the best way to stop viewbot sellers from profiting off
empty promises is to not buy their services," DiPietro said. Twitch, he said,
has the means of detecting and removing false viewers, and its moderation,
support and partnership teams regularly investigate and act on allegations of
inflated viewer counts.

大意就是說機器人可以灌人數 灌追隨數 甚至可以攻擊其他實況主
比如妨礙他們跟twitch簽約 或者害他們被ban台
然後twitch現在要告其中七個機器人製作人
twitch也說他們有能力偵測跟移除灌水人數
所以實況買人氣的要小心啦
