Twitch today has grown to over 2 million streamers, 27,000 of whom are Partners generating revenue from their videos. The company may even crack down on inappropriate jokes between friends that could be considered harassment when viewed by others it reminds streamers that they’re still “broadcasting on service that reaches a wide audience” and should act appropriately. It will now pay close attention to the “context and intent” of the words used, not just the words themselves or the actions that took place, it says. In addition, Twitch is updating its moderation framework to help better enforce its policies. (And because those screenshots could be faked). That seems to imply that Twitch would consider hateful or harassing tweets in violation of the policy, but may not take into account someone who harassed another via text message, as that’s not independently verifiable. The company tells us these documented examples can come from “any source,” but Twitch will need to be able to personally verify them before taking action. However, the company itself will not be scanning all of the web and social media to look for such activity – instead, victims of the harassment can send documentation to Twitch directly and ask for a review. That is, if a Twitch user turns to other services to harass another Twitch user, Twitch will now consider their actions in breach of Twitch’s policies, too. It’s also expanding its enforcement of hateful conduct and harassment to include those actions that take place off-site. “Hate simply has no place in the Twitch community,” the company said in an announcement. In the case of the hateful content and anti-harassment guidelines, Twitch says that any hateful conduct will result in an immediate indefinite suspension.
