Twitch has introduced new policy and moderation updates that aim to help curb sexual harassment. The streaming platform announced in a blog post<\/a> that it has made its sexual harassment policy \u201ceasier to understand\u201d by more clearly outlining prohibited conduct. Twitch\u2019s moderation tools will now also allow streamers to more easily filter out inappropriate chat messages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Twitch says the policy itself is \u201clargely unchanged,\u201d but now better defines what the Amazon-owned company considers sexual harassment \u2014 including \u201cnon-physical behaviors of a sexual nature\u201d that would make users feel degraded, uncomfortable, or generally unwelcome on the platform.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe prohibit unwanted comments \u2014 including comments made using emojis\/emotes \u2014 regarding someone\u2019s appearance or body, sexual requests or advances, sexual objectification, and negative statements or attacks related to a person\u2019s perceived sexual behaviors or activities, regardless of their gender,\u201d Twitch said. \u201cWe also do not tolerate the recording or sharing of non-consensual intimate images or videos under any circumstances, and may report such content to law enforcement.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

AutoMod users should now see an additional filtering category specifically for sexual harassment.<\/em><\/figcaption>Image: Twitch<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Twitch streamers who use AutoMod<\/a>, the platform\u2019s built-in autonomous moderation feature, can also now enable a new category that filters \u201cunwelcome comments about someone\u2019s appearance, sexual requests or advances, and sexual objectification.\u201d Like the previous categories launched for aggression and bullying, users can customize how strict they want the moderation to be and decide whether to report the users behind the messages. The new AutoMod category is available in English for now, with additional language support in the pipeline.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
