Twitch has quickly taken back its policy update<\/ins><\/a> that permitted users to post sexual content as long as it was labeled. In another update<\/ins><\/a>, the company said it is not going to allow any depictions of real or fictional nudity on its streaming platform. After giving users the green light to post \u201cartistic nudity,\u201d Twitch says some streamers created content that violated policy.<\/p>\n

The media streamed in response to the initial approval of sexually explicit content on Twitch was \u201cmet with community concern,\u201d according to the update. The company said, \u201cWe have decided that we went too far with this change.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While a huge part of the initial decision was to allow for the \u201cdigital depiction\u201d of artistic nudity, the company clarified that digital depictions of sexual content is a concern when artificial intelligence can be used to develop realistic images and that it can be difficult to discern between what’s been digitally produced and real photography.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re making some additional updates to our Sexual Content Policy. We realize that our earlier update caused confusion and appreciate all the feedback we\u2019ve received. Thanks for always coming together with us to help build the best version of Twitch.<\/p>\n

Recently at TwitchCon in Las Vegas<\/ins><\/a>, the company introduced new moderation measures meant to keep inappropriate content out of stream chats. The issue of sexual abuse and inconsistent moderation policies<\/ins><\/a> through the site has been a recurring problem for the live-streaming platform. The company even dedicated a Safety Advisory Council<\/ins><\/a> in 2020 meant to tackle the site\u2019s bad reputation for its moderation practices.<\/p>\n

Twitch\u2019s back and forth stance on the issue of sexually explicit content has enraged some users. @Saruei_<\/ins><\/a>, a user on X wrote, \u201cI got banned wrongly under your new policy for drawing a nude character without any visible genitalia. This is your own responsibility for not thinking through before establishing a new TOS and it is incredibly unfair to a lot of artists who fell into the same situation as myself.\u201d Another Twitch user @LuxDenizen<\/ins><\/a> took to X to complain, \u201cSucks for the artists who were actually following all of the rules. THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS.\u201d<\/p>\n
