Twitch is among the largest social media platforms in the world. Twitch is one of the platforms where electronic sports and video games are broadcasted the most, and it includes many users.
Twitch wants to make its social media platform better with the policies it publishes. For this, the company is preparing to update its policies. With the new policy, hundreds of thousands of accounts will be banned from the platform.
Twitch will make major changes to usernames!
According to an article published on an Amazon blog, Twitch will update its policies. With the update, it is expected that the usernames that refer to drugs and sexual content will be banned on the live broadcast platform. The company says usernames are very important on the platform.
Twitch says that usernames should be held to a more universal and higher standard than other places where people express themselves. In line with this thought, the company plans to activate its new policy as of March 1.
With the new policy that will come into force, if usernames referring to sexual content and drugs are reported, they will be banned from the platform. In addition, names representing hate, insulting and violent behavior will also be suspended from the platform. In this way, it is aimed to create a better environment on the platform.
The platform will give users time until the policy goes into effect. During this period, the usernames in the class to be banned can be easily changed. After this change, the previous username will not be taken into account and no action will be applied to those accounts.
Twitch stated that many of the offending usernames reported with the policy implemented so far have been removed. It was emphasized that this step was taken to bring the platform to a higher standard. So, what are your thoughts? What do you think will happen with the new policy?
