American video live-streaming service Twitch has updated its Attire Policy, specifically targeting the issue of implied nudity during live streams.
The recent meta on Twitch saw streamers utilizing black censor bars or strategic camera placement to create the illusion of partial or full nudity, prompting the streaming giant to take action.
For those areas of the body where coverage is required, the coverage must be fully opaque; sheer or partially see-through clothing does not constitute coverage. Note also, that streamers must appropriately categorize their content. For example, streamers that use the attire exception that is granted when streaming near a pool or a hot tub, are expected to use the “Pools, Hot Tubs, and Beaches” category when classifying this content. While at times, we simply reclassify the stream into the appropriate category, repeated failure to appropriately classify a stream will lead to an enforcement action.
