Twitch introduces new filtering tools to exclude sexual and violent content

Twitch has announced the introduction of new filtering tools that allow users to exclude live broadcasts with sexual and violent content.

Here's What We Know

These tools are based on the new Content Classification Guidelines, which require creators to label content with sexual images, violence, gambling, and other obscene material accordingly. With the help of these filters, users can hide these categories when searching and recommending content.

In addition, Twitch is also introducing the ability to blur preview thumbnails for streams with sexual content, which will be enabled by default and can be configured in profile settings.

The new settings will appear in the "Content Display Options" section on Twitch, and for users under 18, they will be automatically set in accordance with the platform's policy.
