  I cant help but find the term “artistic nudity” hilarious. I just imagine all the channels playing smooth jazz while rbey draw.

    Less. They’re rolling back their recent, more open, policy.

  I went to check the art section to see how it impacted it when it was announced. Booty, Booty Twerking Everywhere, that’s all it was, and it was not lives, it was people putting YouTube videos of people twerking to the camera and those had 300, 200, 100 views

  Crazy

  “Sexual Content Policy Update DEC 15, 2023← All Posts

  Author: Dan Clancy

  On Wednesday, we updated our Sexual Content Policy. Our primary goal in making these updates was to make our guidelines easier to understand and enforce.

  Part of this update included changes to how we treat fictionalized nudity. For years, through UserVoice and in conversations, we heard from artists that our content policies were limiting. In making this update, we were trying to be responsive to these requests and allow the thriving artist community on Twitch to utilize the human form in their art.

  First, we want to make clear that some streamers, in response to this update, created content that was in violation of our new policy. We’ve worked quickly to remove that content and issue channel enforcements.

  However, there also was a great deal of new content that was allowed under the updated policy. Much of the content created has been met with community concern. These are concerns we share. Upon reflection, we have decided that we went too far with this change. Digital depictions of nudity present a unique challenge–AI can be used to create realistic images, and it can be hard to distinguish between digital art and photography.

  So, effective today, we are rolling back the artistic nudity changes. Moving forward, depictions of real or fictional nudity won’t be allowed on Twitch, regardless of the medium. This restriction does not apply to Mature-rated games. You can find emote-specific standards for nudity and sexual content in the Emote Guidelines. We aren’t making other changes to the updated Sexual Content Policy.

  We are in the process of pushing out updates to our Community Guidelines that reflect this change. It will take a few days for both this blog and for the new Community Guidelines to be translated.

  While I wish we would have predicted this outcome, part of our job is to make adjustments that serve the community. I apologize for the confusion that this update has caused.”

    The important question: “Is HouseParty still prohibited?”

  Who cares

    About 7 million streamers and even millions more who use the platform.

    So y'know, hardly anybody.

      I wonder if it would be advantageous to make a community about live streaming now that Twitch has finally grown out of being a gaming platform. Justin TV was so much more diverse, live streams are so much more than just Twitch and the meta there.
