For Pokimane, the fight against toxicity on social networks will not be won with words alone, but by seizing the legal machine. During a stream held on December 23, the famous content creator residing in the United States explained that stalkers should be held accountable for their actions online . Pokimane added that she was ready to work with U.S. policymakers to help craft legislation that would do just that.
A long-term fight against toxicity
Even if most states punish harassment and verbal abuse online, it must be admitted that the net offers the most beautiful cover to those who have little morality: anonymity . Pokimane highlights the fact that the comments made online must be accountable, that is to say that those who make them must be responsible for them before the law.
A very difficult project to achieve, but which is starting to become necessary in the face of the resurgence of waves of harassment and toxicity on all social networks. A scourge that streamers (and more particularly female streamers) suffer on a daily basis.
ready to help
Pokimane says she is ready to help political groups who would like to create an anti-harassment law online. According to the Win.GG site, it seems that for the time being Pokimane has only approached associations fighting against online harassment, rather than political parties.
