This is a significant step towards creating a more secure environment for its community, both on and off Twitch. Twitch’s recent decision to incorporate doxxing and swatting into their ‘off-service misconduct’ policy reflects a proactive approach to ensure the safety and privacy of its users. The addition of a “warning” option allows moderators and creators to discreetly address rule violations in the chat. Twitch has listened and is addressing the need for more nuanced moderation tools. Moderators and streamers have been asking for a nicer method of warning viewers to keep a positive and respectful community without kicking/banning them publically. Whether this can be enforced, only time will tell. Streamers will have to ensure the quality of their stream on Twitch is “no less than the experience on other platforms or services”. This move opens up new horizons for content creators to expand their audience on competitor platforms, although some limitation still apply, requiring priority of Twitch services and chat over their competitors. They can now stream anywhere they want concurrently, breaking free from the limitations of past terms of use. Creators will no longer be bound by the restrictions of simulcasting rules. CEO Dan Clancy confirmed this update at TwitchCon 2023.
