Building the Safest Place to Stream, with Christine Weber, CTO, Twitch

This week, I sit down with Christine Weber, CTO of Twitch, to talk about what it takes to build safety at scale for live streaming. Christine walks through how Twitch approaches moderation across millions of live streams every month, the creator first tools like Shield Mode and AutoMod that put real control in streamers' hands, and why Twitch has deliberately kept humans in the loop with AI. She also gets into how creator feedback shapes the product, how Twitch thinks about regulation as a starting point rather than a finish line, and what it means to plant a flag and say you're building the safest place to stream on the internet.
