To tackle an increase in so-called hate raids on the platform, Twitch is rolling out a verification system. This aims to prevent trolls from creating numerous accounts in order to wreak havoc on the site.

The move may not stamp out harassment on Twitch entirely, but it could help create a more pleasant environment for streamers and their viewers. Twitch has just announced that it has introduced new verification tools to fight against the various forms of harassment on the platform.
