Twitch To Ban Users For 'Hate' on Other Platforms (bbc.com)

Posted by msmash on Friday February 9, 2018 @06:05AM from the steering-clear dept.

Twitch has updated its guidelines so that abuse taking place on other platforms can contribute to a suspension on the streaming site. From a report: Directing "hate or harassment" towards someone on Twitch using other services will be considered a policy violation. Conduct Twitch deems "hateful" on any platform will result in an "immediate indefinite suspension." Sexual conduct rules have also been changed to consider the "context" of a stream. Moderators will pay attention to clothing, the title of a stream, camera angles and chat moderation when deciding whether something is sexually inappropriate.

I used to read about Victorian culture and boggle at how closeted and demanding it was, how rigid facades were required to get anywhere in life and wonder how the fuck a society could ever get that way.
Yeah, I don't wonder about that shit anymore...
When the new counter-culture hits (as it must) it's going to make the 60s look sedate.
