The community got its way: Twitch is canceling some of the recently introduced rules

The Twitch platform has announced that it is reversing some of its changes to its sexual content policies. The company has canceled its "artistic nudity" policy after it raised concerns in the community. It is now again prohibited to display real or fictional nudity of an "artistic nature", including depictions of genitals and breasts in the Art section.

However, other changes remain in effect. Streamers are still allowed to highlight breasts, buttocks or pelvic areas, as well as paint naked bodies and perform erotic dances without the need for special marking. The new rules were introduced on December 13, and after that Twitch faced criticism from viewers and content creators who felt that the platform had become too focused on “naked streamers” and had turned into a porn site.
