Twitch has finally cracked down on the implied nudity meta, users will now face potential bans whilst streaming without acceptable clothing.
For the past few weeks, Twitch has been plagued by streamers chasing the implied nudity meta, which involves going live with little to no clothes on. This would typically result in a strike or ban on the channel, but users have cleverly covered up their private parts with camera positioning and censor bars to avoid action from Twitch moderators.

It all began when streamer Morgpie went live seemingly without a shirt on, but positioned the camera to only show her face and the top of her shoulders.
Viewers have been begging Twitch to do something about it, and finally, action has been taken.
In a new tweet, Twitch shared some updated community guidelines, saying it wants the platform to be “a place where all communities feel welcome,” and somewhere viewers can have “consistently positive experiences.”
Taking a look at the new guidelines, it’s clear the moderators will be keeping a closer eye on streamers chasing the latest view metas. It reads: “We don’t permit streamers to be fully or partially nude, including exposing genitals or buttocks. Nor do we permit streamers to imply or suggest that they are fully or partially nude, including, but not limited to, covering breasts or genitals with objects or censor bars.”
It continued: “For those who present as women, we ask that you cover your nipples and do not expose under bust. Cleavage is unrestricted as long as these coverage requirements are met and it is clear that the streamer is wearing clothing.”
And there you have it, implied nudity on Twitch is officially dead and buried. While the trend wasn’t really hurting anyone, it did cause a lot of unnecessary discomfort, so it’s nice to see Twitch finally take action.
