Twitch Updates Sexual Content Policy to Be More Flexible, Address Issues for Female Streamers
-
Twitch updated its sexual content policy to be less confusing, consolidate rules, and align with industry standards. Allows some sexual content with proper labels.
-
New policy aims to be less restrictive and reduce inconsistent enforcement issues that disproportionately affected female streamers.
-
Rules now allow content like body writing, twerking, grinding without a label but still prohibit fictionalized sexual acts.
-
Failure to properly label permitted sexual content can result in warnings and penalties, not suspensions. Repeated issues may lead to locked label.
-
Policy previously banned streamers like Morgpie and Amouranth for "sexually suggestive" content that didn't clearly violate rules, cutting their revenue.
