Twitch recently made an update to its policies about what can be shown on streams, especially in terms of nudity. At first, they allowed some types of made-up nudity, like digital characters or drawings, as long as it was labeled properly. But after a few days, they decided to change course and say sorry to everyone on the platform.

A while back, there was a trend on Twitch that got everyone talking and some guys really upset. Some women were using specific camera angles to make it look like they were topless while streaming. This whole “topless trend,” kind of like the hot tub trend from before, had some women trying it, some getting banned, and a lot of guys getting super mad about it. So, Twitch stepped in on December 13 to clear up the confusion and keep adult stuff labeled right but away from the main page. They even said it was cool to have digital nakedness, but now they’re taking that back.

On December 15, Twitch’s big boss, Dan Clancy, admitted that allowing fake nudity caused a bit more rule-breaking content, but it also brought in a bunch of people following the rules, too. But the response from the community wasn’t all positive. People didn’t dig all the new artsy nudity, so Twitch decided to hit undo on those changes.

“Starting today, we’re getting rid of the rules about artistic nudity,” Clancy said. “From now on, real or made-up nakedness won’t fly on Twitch, no matter how it’s shown. This rule doesn’t affect games meant for older players. If you’re into emotes, we’ve got separate guidelines for that.”

Twitch admitted they went a bit too far with the nudity rules. They explained that making rules about digital nudity is tricky because AI can make things that look super real but aren’t actually real people.

While Twitch is dialing back on the artistic nudity rules, they’re keeping other changes in place, like rules about exotic dancing, body painting, or focusing on certain parts of the body as long as they’re covered.

“I wish we could’ve seen this coming, but part of our job is to change things for the community,” Clancy said. “Sorry for the confusion this update caused.”
