A few well-known French steamers appear in the list. This is the case of Squeezie or Locklear and Zerator. The latter also reacted in a thread on social networks to confirm the veracity of this list and to explain the money earned thanks to Twitch – 1.4 million euros – which made the French Twitter react.
I rarely received so many mentions and messages because we know that money fascinates in France especially when it comes to a rather vague area than that of creators on the internet. Just look at the debate everyone had when Twitch changed their rules. THREAD: https://t.co/67Qo9RX2lf

The users could also be victims of hacking
Twitch user passwords could be part of this massive leak. The video platform, owned by Amazon, is used daily by a million French people. Users are advised to change their passwords now. Enabling two-step authentication is also recommended.
