Twitch has updated its sexual content guidelines to ban "implied nudity," targeting streamers who use censor bars or camera angles to suggest nudity. The new policy specifies coverage requirements, particularly for streamers presenting as women, and reinforces the prohibition of nude or partially nude minors.

The platform continues to adjust its policies in response to community behavior and technological developments.
Microsoft is using AI tools to enhance its Xbox moderation efforts, automating the flagging of content for human review without relying solely on player reports. The company's transparency report highlights two tools, Community Sift and the Turing Bletchley v3 AI model, which help scale up moderation capabilities and reduce exposure to sensitive content. Community Sift has filtered over 36 million Xbox player reports in 22 languages, while the Bletchley system scans user-generated imagery, blocking 4.7 million images in the first half of 2023. Microsoft has also seen a significant increase in enforcement actions against inauthentic accounts, up 276% from the previous year.
Xbox has implemented a new strike system to address abusive behavior and educate players about their actions. Users who violate the platform's Community Standards will receive strikes, which will remain on their account for six months and restrict access to certain social features. Once a user accumulates eight strikes, they will be suspended from social features for a year. The system provides transparency by showing users their strike count and reasons for the strikes, allowing them to appeal. Xbox's efforts aim to combat toxic gaming culture and address the high prevalence of harassment in online multiplayer games.
