Do you remember when Twitch banned gambling? Now they allow nudity!

[uneng]

Not a long time ago, we had a lot of news and discussions on this forum about Twitch platform censoring gambling lives and content, due to their decision to keep the social media "family friendly".

Ironically, now artistic nudity is allowed (And who is going to define the limit between what is artistic and what is pornography?)!

Here we can see the double standards of Twitch's developers. Gambling was condemned as something outrageous, but nudity is fine as family friendly content...

Why do you think gambling has been being treated in a different manner by Twitch?

Yes, we all remember that, we even have dedicated threads,

Twitch is going to ban most crypto gambling streamers. Where will Drake go now?
Twitch To Ban Gambling Streaming By October 18th.

But we all know that this is going to be temporary though, because they are going to lose big money if they totally ban gambling. As for this artistic nudity, it will become controversial like gambling, but as you have said, they have double standards so they will allow it to continue and same with gambling. It's all about the business of making money at the end of the end and not about morals, just saying.

I remember it well and most people here on this community too.. Just like been said that im not really that shocked for these kind of decisions would really be turned out be changed up overtime
or they would really be allowing something which is far more worst than with gambling. As for this kind of allowing that artistic nudity which we can really be able to tell that this is really just as good as light porn i should say? 

Well, iths their company then its their right on what they would should gonna do into their company. It is really just that sad that they are really that
prohibiting or banning gambling but now adding up some nudity? Totally mind boggling and questionable.

[Johnyz]

What a plot twist, is this also a live streaming of nudity?
Maybe there’s a big money for this compare to gambling and maybe this is more accepted by the regulation than to gambling. It’s hard to tell why they will allow this but if the regulations approve this then something is going on for sure. Let’s see if Twitch will stay longer without allowing any gambling streaming because for sure they are already losing a lot of money since they implemented this one.

IMHO gambling is much more harmful if compared to nudity if you ask me. Nudity can even be really positive for countries with low birth rates and negative population growth haha. This decision comes shortly after platforms like Facebook allowed partial nudity (nipples) to be published.

What are the possible negative effects of allowing nudity? I don't see any...

Gambling is much more harmful depending the person who is having access to it. For most people it won't have any negative effects to access gambling content, because they aren't going to become degenerate gamblers. The same can be said about nudity, although there will be always a minor percentage of people who will develop disfunctional behaviors when watching nudity (which may end becoming pornography).

I'm not against one or another. I just don't see why one has to be fought back and the other has to be embraced. A simple age restriction for determined kinds of contents inside the platform would be enough in both cases.

If Twitch wants to compete against adult websites for audience, while having an userbase of 13 years teens, let it be... That was one of the excuses presented to justify the ban on gambling content back then.

[alani123]

Artistic nudity that is 

It's quite ironic if you think about it, but it was also kinda allowed before too?
It was just informal and sometimes creators doing body paint.

To be honest I kinda understand the limitations on gambling, many outright scams were promoted. But also worth noting that twitch didn't want to get involved at all at helping gambling safer. They still allowed sports and poker, which could also be scams... They could have just demanded provable fairness on the other sites, but they didn't...

So now the main viewership on twitch is just softcore 
The more educated viewers will be on kick in the meantime.

[swogerino]

Lol,now they are becoming a new Pornhub and they banned gambling not long ago if I remember correctly.I think that despite such events more and more people are liking Twitch and this just shows what is all over us in the world,the double standard,the hypocrisy and related things.For me is a long time that I have not watched anything there and you just reminded me that they exist as I used to watch streamers there,now I watch streamers elsewhere but for me I think like the gambling is rigged everywhere,streamers being sponsored and making us follow them,while we only lose.

Kick is another platform gaining steam and I see them increasing in usage dramatically and gaining new users in a big expansion in a short to mid term.

[goaldigger]

Though gambling is different, Twitch should not allow their platform to slowly become a pornhub.  
Wondering why they are doing this, are they going to compensate the losses they’ve incurred by banning gambling by just allowing this kind of nudity feature? Well it less harmful though but still we know how this nudity affects the minds of many especially with the underage.

Spicy streamers is more sellable than those gambling streamers that's why don't get surprise about such situation since its normal. But once there's someone from government disturb their operation due to to nudity reason for sure same with gambling twitch will put an action with that and also ban that nudity streamers.

For now those people who do that can enjoy that platform since no legal disturbance happening but once there's something certain roll of events happen for sure it can sure taken out on the scene same with what happen on gambling scene their.

I  think twitch is doing fine since after all its business so maybe they allow it or let it happen since there's no official disallow them to erase that content.

[Casdinyard]

Yeah pretty braindead rule on their part I must say. But there's method to this madness I must say. They are hoping to cater towards a much larger audience which in this case involves artists and other creators that delve in the art world, so they have more freedom to express their stuff without getting the ban hammer. I'm guessing they overlooked the fact that there are people who will look for loopholes to avoid getting banned while still being able to do these stupid things.

I give the benefit of the doubt to Twitch on this one. But at the same time I condemn them for banning Gambling since at the end of the day, as Asmongold puts it, the platform was never meant for kids in the first place.

[samcrypto]

Of course, who will not forget about this moved from Twitch.
Introducing something new in their platform doesn't mean you go into this kind of feature. Allowing Nudity in the platform will surely affect the reputation of this site and for sure the regulations will also look into this. Banning Gambling on their platform is quiet acceptable since its harmful but with this, I think they are just trying to get back the viewers that they've loss since their last update, this is not a good move for me and nudity should not be easily available online especially there's a lot of underage using their platform by simply changing their identity.

Their platform, their rules. Just take it with a grain of salt, I guess.

Since that revamp on sexual content can be considered as a new change in the platform, for sure the community will voiced their concern and expect some changes over changes in no time. Let's just wait for the platform's reaction after a brief period of time. If you think the platforms annoys you, try to ignore them for now. Aside from that, Twitch is a growing platform and most likely will end up what Youtube is currently today where lots of content, at a different genre, are being subject for aggressive moderation as they are being regulated more.

If the platform are against gambling-related services but allowing nudity, we should look deeply the specific term regarding that.

(P.S: I'm not really sure about what kind of nudity are being referred here. I doubt they will put almost an XXX content there. )

[lionheart78]

What are the possible negative effects of allowing nudity? I don't see any... 

The first negative effect would be exploitation.  To get more views and audience those who wanted to earn more often exploit minors.  They might declare that the person involved is more than 18 years old and they can fake it.

Artistic nudity is not that bad since it has something to do with art but I wonder how they can filter artistic nudity from pornography, and the filter of the actors or models used in such artistic nudity content.

If the platform are against gambling-related services but allowing nudity, we should look deeply the specific term regarding that.

Nudity and gambling are two different industries, so they can approve one and completely shut one.  It is the call of the platform owner IMHO.

Every platform owner has rights and obligations regarding how their platform operates, well in some countries nudity is not considered a form of wrongdoing, while gambling is considered a form of wrongdoing, if we want to complain then it is a wrong action, there is something wrong with it.  i think, if Twitch doesn't ban nudity then Twitch developers definitely want to move towards providing pornographic content, in some countries this is banned, this is like a boomerang for them, banning gambling content but allowing nudity.

[Slow death]

nowadays society is already at its lowest point, I remember that a few years ago many people complained that they shouldn't put gambling sites on Facebook and Instagram. Fortunately, the casinos have their Instagram pages without causing too much headache, but on Instagram women are almost naked in the photos, it has become something very normal and when you look at the USA you realize that in the USA it has become normal for women to walk in the streets with little clothing during the day and when women in the US go to parties and clubs, they put on little clothing that makes it look like their intention is that they are going to expose their body for sale

The owners of these platforms live in the USA, if I'm not wrong, so they are part of American society and obviously, being scantily clad is normal for women in the USA, so on these social networks there will be no prohibition on people exposing their bodies and that's it. because the US government does not prohibit this exposure of women's bodies, but in the case of gambling the US government, like many governments, has been much tougher and for this reason the owners of these social networks are intimidated and forced to sometimes restrict gambling. I believe there is nothing that can be done to make things change.

Their principles in making this decision regarding the treatment of gambling and the acceptance of nudity on Twitch are noticeable and questionable. They banned gambling because they believed it could not provide sufficient consumer protections that could lead to financial hardship and addiction. However, it's confusing because Twitch prohibits nudity, inappropriate attire, pornography, and sexually explicit or suggestive content, yet they allow certain streams that contain sexual themes if they provide an appropriate label. I understand the decision to allow artistic nudity to support a broader range of content and expression on the platform. However, it would be better if the boundaries were clearly defined to ensure that the content remains appropriate for its audience.

[Strongkored]

The silliness created by Twitch, and it could be because they lost a lot of money after deciding to ban gambling content, but it's only a matter of time until they finally allow gambling again because they don't want income to be reduced any longer.
Gambling and Nudity are both damaging if accessed by people who are not old enough to be responsible for the content being accessed, but unfortunately more people associate gambling with worse, making many platforms take steps to ban gambling even though it can be overcome with age restrictions.

[danherbias07]

All we can do is laugh at these things. Or can we report it? Maybe.

It's truly a double standard. Maybe the owner behind Twitch likes it more when it comes to pornography than gambling. Well, it's not that expensive and they offer yearly subscriptions while in gambling they are going to waste a lot of money if it becomes a habit. It's better to just waste energy jerking off. 
Seriously, I think it caused them trouble when streamers started live videos of gambling. It's not just about traditional belief but because of the rising amount of gambling addicts in the world. But the only problem that I saw is they want to look good and yet here we are talking about the nudity streamers which is not right for many Christians and other religions.
How I really wish my kids wouldn't bump into that website while they are growing up.

This is not a double standard but the only standard for twitch and other centralized platforms. The problem is that these are centralized bodies and they can make whatever decision they like or think is good for their own self. We, as an audience, have no rights other than to boycott the Twitch in case we feel that they are making double standard rules and allowing things like porn that may be bad for society.

By then, how many people will boycott? the number will be very few, so less that it won't have any effect on the Twitch platform and user base. This is why we need these platforms to be replaced by the decentralized ones where the decision will be taken by the public.
