For those who are not aware, the safety council was not the trust and safety team that handles bans.

Instead, this was a small group of livestreamers and community representatives that meet once a month or so, and give their personal opinion on proposed changes that Twitch brings to them.

It was glorified user research.

It doesn't sound like it was just that:

> The Safety Advisory Council's members include Dr. Sameer Hinduja, co-director of the Cyber Bullying Research Center, and Dr. T.L. Taylor, the co-founder and director of AnyKey, an organization that advocates for inclusion and diversity in video games and esports. There's also Emma Llansó, the director of the Free Expression Project for the Center for Democracy and Technology.

Sounds to me like extensive bribing problem. These are exactly type of of people who use bad PR as as tool for their totalitarian worldviews.
