Win Without War

Tell Twitch: Ban military recruitment now!

The U.S. military is targeting kids as young as 13 online for recruitment — a blatant violation of strict laws that prohibit recruitment of anyone under the age of 16.

The Air Force, Army, and Navy are using one of the most popular video game platforms, Twitch, which has 63 MILLION users under 18, to target children —  and they’ve already gotten in trouble for violating the platform’s rules with deceptive giveaways. 

War is not a game. The military should NOT use deceptive and harmful tactics to recruit kids when their guards are down online — and no company should give them that opportunity. 

Tell Twitch CEO Emmett Shear to ban military recruitment on the platform and protect young people from harmful recruiting practices.

To Emmett Shear, CEO of Twitch:

Young people from all over the world gather on Twitch to play games and build friendship. The use of advertising by the U.S. military violates military recruiting laws and makes young people targets for manipulation and deception by members of the military. Please ban all military recruitment from your platform and let kids have a safe place to have fun.
