Twitch Updated their Sexual Content Policy:
- Changes: Certain content now allowed with labels
- Artistic Nudity: Permitted under Sexual Themes Label
- Game Nudity: Contextual; labels necessary
- Body Painting: Acceptable with appropriate label
- Mature Games: Label generally covers content
- Stream Visibility: Impacted by content labels
- Twerking, grinding and pole dancing are now allowed without a label.
I consider the risk on those platforms much less, and if they begun hosting hardcore porn I would consider only other platforms. Netflix and HBO implement parental controls and involve fixed runtime content, whereas Twitch involves real-time streams and widely differing types of moderation where streamers may be involved in safe and non-safe content, and it lacks the ease of the parental controls of the services you’ve mentioned.
Why do you consider forcing all that micromanagement to parents easier than just moving porn to another domain or under another brand?
You mean, besides the fact that your kids are your responsibility, and not everyone elses?
Or beyond the fact that netflix has the same level of softcore content, and HBO has far far far worse sexual and non sexual content?
Do I need more reasons beyond those?
Fortunately for most parents, most governments disagree. They realize it’s a society problem. But I really hope that they eventually catch up with this type of bullshit in the Internet industry. I know that Steam and other services have begun to get flak for it, specially in countries like Germany.
Click. On. Another. Fucking. Link/Brand. It’s not that hard.
Thank f-ing god that this thread is nowhere near representative of the real world: https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/15/twitch-rolls-back-artistic-nudity-sexual-content-policy-ai-nudes/
If you need the government to pick what your kids are able to watch, you shouldnt have kids mate
If you diss and fail to understand why there is government regulation surrounding it all because you dealing with adult only websites is too difficult for you, it’s less a case of shouldn’t and more of a case of mustn’t for you, bud.
So you think HBO should be an adult only space? With stricter regulations?
The same sort of legislation that the GDPR applies penalties with for not giving users controls over their ads could be adopted and applied to create a standardized form of parental controls of sites over the Internet, but until that happens, people can benefit from keeping explicit adult porn websites and services separate from the rest of their offering and forcing the rest of their offering to implement easy to implement parental controls if necessary.
Answer the question mate.
Do you believe HBO should be labeled and treated as an adult only site or app due to the content it provides?
I did, I just avoided your disingenuous attempt at controlling the narrative by fishing for particular answers and applied it universally. You can answer it yourself from there, big boy.
