"Twitch's Updated Nudity Policy: Illustrated Nipples Allowed, Human Underboob Restricted"

Twitch has updated its sexual content policy, allowing previously prohibited content like illustrated nipples and "erotic dances," while clarifying what nudity is and isn't allowed on the platform. The update aims to streamline Twitch's approach to sexual content and modernize its previous policies, which disproportionately penalized female streamers. The new policy is detailed but appears to contradict itself in certain contexts. Streams tagged for "sexual themes" won't be promoted on Twitch's homepage recommendations, but viewers can still navigate directly to those channels. The updates address community complaints and aim to reduce inconsistent enforcement, bringing Twitch's policy more in line with other social media services.
