The revision acknowledges that Twitch’s lack of transparency has occasionally resulted in very significant concerns for authors. Last year, the site launched a “Hot Tubs” category in part because its prior strategy (clumping these streams under the “Just Chatting” area) created uncertainty for both users and advertisers worried that broadcasters were breaking the rules. Twitch also updated the language in its sexual content guideline, and in June, it simplified its approach to self-harm mentions.
