Streaming-siden Twitch har endret sine regler (Rules of Conduct) i et forsøk på å begrense mengden halvnakne folk og seksualistert innhold på siden.
Det har lenge eksistert kanaler hvor brukerne filmer seg selv mer eller mindre avkledd eller i utfordrende klær. Flere brukere har nå sagt ifra om at dette ikke er ønskelig, og ledelsen i Twitch er altså enig. Twitch sier til Polygon at det først og fremst handler om sunn fornuft og at innholdet på siden deres skal handle om streaming av spill - ikke noe annet. Hele oppdateringen i reglene lyder som følger:
"Dress...appropriately
Nerds are sexy, and you're all magnificent, beautiful creatures, but let's try and keep this about the games, shall we?
Wearing no clothing or sexually suggestive clothing - including lingerie, swimsuits, pasties, and undergarments - will most likely get you suspended, as well as any full nude torsos*, which applies to both male and female broadcasters. You may have a great six-pack, but that's better shared on the beach during a 2-on-2 volleyball game blasting "Playing with the Boys."
* If it's unbearably hot where you are, and you happen to have your shirt off (gents) or a bikini top (ladies), then just crop the webcam to your face. If your lighting is hot, get fluorescent bulbs to reduce the heat. Xbox One Kinect doesn't zoom? Move it closer to you, or turn it off. There is always a workaround.
We sell t-shirts, and those are always acceptable."
