Twitch's Charity Tool called out for including nonprofits that some consider controversial

Twitch has come under fire from some users for including a handful of controversial organizations listed under its Charity Tool.

Many Twitch users are criticizing the platform for including several controversial groups in the list of organizations eligible for fundraising through its Charity Tool.

The platform announced the expansion of its tool, which allows creators to set goals and offer incentives for donations for fundraising streams, last week. The list expanded from 250 organizations to over 95,000. Unlike with its maligned revenue sharing policy, which determines how streamers and Twitch divide the revenue from paid subscriptions, Twitch does not take a cut of the money raised from charity streams.

“More charities means more charity, right?” Twitch wrote in a blog post Wednesday, noting that all organizations on its list are “PayPal-vetted.”

But the announcement, while welcomed by some, was met with backlash by others.

"Disgusting," one Twitter user wrote in response to the announcement. "Vet your 'charities'."
