JAKARTA After four years of existence, Twitch's live streaming platform will dissolve its Security Advisory Board. Reportedly, the council member's contract is not extended and will expire on Friday, May 31. Based on a CNBC report, all members were contacted in early May. They received news that Twitch terminated all employee and company contracts not going to pay any more in the future. Although the group was dissolved, Twitch intends to retain its team concept with a new person. The company plans to continue the Security Advisory Board with hundreds of members consisting of streamers. This news was confirmed directly by Trust and Safety Communications Manager Elizabeth Busby. To The Verge, Busby said that the Security Advisory Council would have 180 members of the Twitch ambassador program.

"We are excited to work closely with our global Twitch Ambassador, all of whom are active on Twitch, know firsthand our safety work, and have a variety of experiences that can be taken," said Busby. Busby added that the company deliberately disbanded an old group to form a fresher new perspective. Despite recruiting new members, the group will continue to assist Twitch in developing new policies. The Security Advisory Council will also be a liaison between Twitch and streamers. In addition, the entire board member will be the party who conveys issues related to the security of the Twitch community to decision makers.
