Twitch has tightened its rules around broadcasts that include debates about "political" and "sensitive social issues".

In a statement, Twitch said that whilst it is a place “for people to express themselves and discuss the world around them”, from now on, any stream that includes discussions about war, religion, or “reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, or immigration” needs to be labelled.

    “Streams containing informational or educational content that aim to share knowledge in a neutral, fact-based manner, rather than engaging in any kind of advocacy for an issue or candidate” are not subject to labelling, however.

    Oh boy, can’t wait to see which facts (like transition regret being in the low single digit percentages) get determined to be “advocacy”!
