Twitch is continuing its ongoing safety changes with a modest but possibly effective move: putting its regulations in plain terms. The firm has changed its Community Guidelines in order to create a better framework with simpler terminology, more context, and practical examples, which it feels will be more effective. This includes new top-level categories (such as “Civility & Respect” and “Sensitive Content”) as well as more logical category groupings, such as a “Youth Safety” section covering anything relevant to users under the age of 18. Some offenses, such as “Sexual Harassment” and “Prohibited Games,” now have separate categories.
