Swatting is an unacceptable prank

Swatting is not uncommon in the world of streaming. This prank is not something that should ever be repeated, as it could lead to serious consequences. Swat teams are a group of highly trained professionals, trained to tackle domestic terrorism and not innocent streamers. The growing desensitization of such pranks could someday lead to irreversible fatalities.

Moreover, such incidents only project the streaming industry in a negative light, while inviting unnecessary legal problems. Platforms like Twitch should come up with a solution of their own to keep such individuals away from their website. It is the need of the hour to come up with a measure that can alert the authorities if such a call is made against an innocent streamer.
