Twitch is Passing Out Bans, Enforcing Rules on Non-Gaming Content

November 25, 2013 by Ian Miles Cheong

Twitch will be enforcing stricter regulations on non-gaming content over the service.

Ever since gamers got their hands on the PlayStation 4 and its "Playroom" software, numerous streams have cropped up on the Twitch.tv streaming service showcasing people doing a bunch of crap completely unrelated to gaming.

The streaming service included channels that featured people doing drugs, getting high, and in one instance, a man undressed his passed out wife for the audience.

Needless to say, Twitch isn't interested in having any of this on their service and banned these channels not long after they started to broadcast.

Today, Twitch has announced plans to enforce tighter regulation on "non-gaming content". Here are the terms:

FYI: We continue to moderate according to our Terms of Service. Non-gaming content is not allowed. 1/2

Non-gaming content (c): If using PS4 Playroom, the content must be about games or gaming and within our ToS. Thanks for understanding. 2/2

— Twitch Support (@TwitchTVSupport) November 24, 2013

Discussing gaming is gaming content. There are numerous such channels on Twitch, such as One More Game.

— Twitch Support (@TwitchTVSupport) November 24, 2013

Stop doing drugs on Twitch, people. Jeez.
