A turmoil that lasted a few days is coming to an end on Twitch. The streaming platform changed its rules on December 14, now allowing “artistic nudity.” In detail, this clarification of the conditions of use allowed content creators to offer, for example, drawings of naked bodies.
However, in the course of one night, the platform was invaded by sexual content (drawings, certainly) driven by the new relaxation of current regulations. After banning a large number of affected accounts, Twitch, through its CEO Dan Clancy, finally announced that it would be reversing its developments, in a blog post published on December 15.
“We are making new changes to our sexual content policy. We understand that previous changes have caused confusion and we appreciate all the feedback we have received. Please always support us and help us deliver the best version of Twitch,” the platform tweeted. .

“However, there was also a lot of content created under these conditions that was allowed under this new policy. Those are the concerns we have. On reflection, we believe we have gone too far with these changes,” explains Dan Clancy.
In its press release, the streaming giant wants to point out that, over the past few days, and in light of the changes to its rules, “many users have created content that violates our new policy. We are working quickly to ban this content.” “
For this reason, the platform has indicated that it will eliminate these changes starting this Friday, December 15. “From now on, representations of nudity, whether real or fictitious, are prohibited on Twitch,” the platform concludes.
