Twitch users have finally pushed the interactive livestreaming service to allow more nudity after years of banning mostly female-presenting streamers who were penalized for violating sexual content policies that Twitch now admits were too confusing.<\/p>\n

In one prominent example, just two days before the policy change, Twitch banned OnlyFans model Morgpie for posting “topless” streams. Although Morgpie’s videos were shot to imply nudity, they “never actually showed content that explicitly violated Twitch\u2019s sexual content policies,” TechCrunch reported<\/a>. To critics, Twitch’s rationale for banning Morgpie remains unclear.<\/p>\n

In a blog<\/a>, Twitch Chief Customer Trust Officer Angela Hession wrote that Twitch “received consistent feedback from streamers that our current policies around sexual content are confusing and that it can be difficult to know how their content will be interpreted based on these policies.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
