(Reuters) - Amazon.com Inc's live-streaming site, Twitch, is launching a tool to detect users who try to access channels where they have been banned, it said on Tuesday.

The new tool, called Suspicious User Detection, will flag "likely" or "possible" channel ban evaders so that creators and moderators of those channels can decide whether to take action.
