Twitch Takes Action Against Explicit Content

Twitch, the popular livestreaming platform owned by Amazon, has once again taken disciplinary action against content creators. This move comes in response to a recent trend where streamers have been playing games like Fortnite on green-screened explicit images. Twitch has promptly updated its Terms of Service to strictly prohibit this type of risque content.

Starting from March 29, creators won't be able to stream content that focuses on intimate body parts for a prolonged period of time.

The company has also released news about Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga’s Air Combos that make players feel skilled AF. The announcement was made through the company's Twitch Support Twitter account on March 27.

Under the new guidelines, livestreams that linger on intimate body parts will no longer be allowed. The term intimate body parts refer to the buttocks, groin, or breasts. Violations of these new rules can lead to removal of the content or in case of repeated violations, temporary or permanent account bans.

Reaction to Streamer Morgpie

This update seems to be a direct reaction to streamer Morgpie, who on March 12, streamed herself watching a YouTube video superimposed on her buttocks. She repeated a similar act on March 14, livestreaming Fortnite gameplay on a large image of her buttocks. This trend was then picked up by other creators, some even gaming on anime depictions of intimate body parts, or their entire bodies.

Although Twitch did not react immediately, it has now taken strict measures to regulate how creators appear on the platform. However, Morgpie continues to find ways around it, streaming herself playing the 2018 arcade tower defense game Bloons TD 6, but this time green-screening just her torso.

Community Response

The community has voiced their opinions on these new rules. Some have asked whether feet are part of these new guidelines, while others have wondered if this applies to VTubers. Some have suggested that the company should consider getting rid of problem streamers that force Twitch to update its rules. But the common consensus is a question: What's the point of these new rules when content creators find ways to skirt around them anyway?

Twitch's Standpoint

A representative from Twitch has stated that the company is always monitoring behavioral shifts and streaming metas on the platform. Their ultimate goal is to make Twitch a welcoming place. They regularly assess their rules to ensure they’re clear and effective, recognizing that online behavior can shift over time.

AI Livestream Goes Haywire

While Twitch is figuring out how to handle creators green-screening their bodies, the platform has witnessed an AI livestream go haywire. An AI Family Guy broadcast, seemingly powered by the same tech behind it.
