Twitch Bans Sexually Suggestive Butt Streaming, Cracking Down Further on Nudity
-
Twitch has updated its policy to ban streams that focus on intimate body parts for a prolonged period. This aims to address the emerging trend of "butt streaming".
-
Some streamers had found loopholes previously to show boobs/butts while gaming by wearing censor bars or framing the game footage in creative ways.
-
This is the 4th major policy update from Twitch around nudity in 4 months, as it struggles to find the right approach.
-
Twitch CEO Dan Clancy says the platform may revisit allowing artistic nudity in the future, with preferences/labeling to control what users see.
-
For now, sexually explicit streams will likely have to move to other websites, but streamers may find new loopholes in Twitch's latest policy update.
