While the new Content Classification Labels are already available for use, Twitch is providing a transition period to help streamers adjust. During this period, streamers may still receive warnings, but Twitch will only begin tracking these warnings after July 20th. In the event of “repeated warnings,” Twitch is not likely to suspend accounts but may instead apply temporary locks on certain classifications for a designated number of days or weeks.
These updates to Twitch’s content policies aim to provide viewers with clearer information about the nature of the streams they choose to watch, promoting transparency and responsible streaming practices.
