Continuing to be the first platform that comes to mind when it comes to live broadcasting. Twitch announced: “Content classification tags are coming”
About content classification tags Amazon company Twitch The official statement by it happened: “Twitch’s thing is to build and be a part of a community around interests. For this, content needs to be clearly labeled so the viewer can consciously decide what to watch. You can do both with content classification tags. we make it easier for both broadcaster and viewers. We announced this update in our open letter on community safety in January. Today we would like to share the details with you. Our publishers have told us in their feedback that the rules about what content to label as “adult” aren’t always clear. Content classification tags are a tool that includes more specific content tags that can be added or removed at any time before or during broadcast. These tags, which replace the previous Adult Content reporting tool, are required to be used when one or more of the following content is included in the post.
- -Game for adults
- -Sexual themes
- – Use of drugs, harmful substances or excessive tobacco use
- -Depictions of violence, blood, brutality
- -Excessive slang and profanity
- -Gambling

The following was also shared on the subject: “To be more specific, this update doesn’t change the Community Guidelines, but does set rules that certain types of content allowed on Twitch must be tagged. Content classification policies also include more detailed information, examples, and explanations (including exceptions) about each of these content tags. When the publisher does not use the correct content tag, they will receive a warning via email and the correct tag will be automatically applied to the post. Publisher who does not properly tag their post will not be suspending. However, publishers need to use these tags properly.
If you do not tag your broadcast correctly even though you have been warned several times, Twitch may automatically apply the necessary tag to your broadcast and prevent you from removing or changing this applied tag by locking it for a certain period of time (a few days or even a few weeks) depending on how many times you have been warned before. Content classification tags not only help bring together publishers and viewers with common interests in the same communities, they also help protect the safety of younger viewers and advertisers. Content classification, which has recently become a common practice in the media and entertainment industry, is important both in terms of security and provides important information to the advertiser to better understand and control the content that will be published alongside the advertisement.”
