Twitch has reversed new policy changes allowing some artistic nudity in just two days, citing problems distinguishing digital art from explicit content and complaints from viewers.
Last Wednesday, Twitch released a sexual content policy that allowed things like drawings or animations depicting exposed breasts when presented in an artistic context. The goal was to give artists more freedom to create sexual content on the platform. Today, Twitch has walked back the part of the changes related to artistic nudity.
In a blog post, Twitch CEO Dan Clancy explained the policy decision, saying that the update was meant to allow artists to use the “human form in their art” on the platform. However, some streamers took advantage by creating sexually explicit content in violation of the new rules.
