"Twitch Implements New Labels for Mature Content and Controversial Themes"
TL;DR
Twitch is replacing its Mature Content toggle for livestreams with new “Content Classification Labels,” which are more descriptive and specific. Streamers can now mark if their stream features mature-rated games, sexual themes, drugs, intoxication, or excessive tobacco use, violent and graphic depictions, significant profanity or vulgarity, and gambling. The new labels are part of a string of recent updates from Twitch, including new ad rules and a new “Partner Plus” tier. Streamers who don’t label their streams will receive an email warning, and the correct label will be applied.
