Twitch CEO Dan Clancy spoke publicly following the assault of streamer Emiru at TwitchCon 2025, reaffirming that creator safety remained the company’s “top priority.”
Speaking to journalist Taylor Lorenz, Clancy acknowledged the seriousness of the situation and said Twitch was taking a close look at what happened during the convention.
On October 17, a male attendee approached Emiru while she was on stage at TwitchCon and grabbed her without her consent. Security pushed the man away, with Emiru subsequently being escorted off-stage.
Clancy says Twitch is reviewing “everything that happened”
“The safety of our creators is our top priority,” Clancy continued during the interview, adding, “The challenge we face is a challenge in today’s society. It’s not limited to Twitch; it extends throughout our society.”
Clancy said, “I do think that when you’re livestreaming, in many ways, that you control your community and you can ban people. You can make it so that those people who you don’t want engaging with you and participating with you, aren’t there.”
Addressing the assault directly, he said, “What happened yesterday was something that we care deeply about securing this environment. We’re looking very closely at everything that happened there, and I care deeply about Emiru. She’s a friend of mine, and so I want to see how we can support her.”
He said that Twitch’s trust and safety systems were considered among the strongest in the industry, but said there is “always more work to be done.”
