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

[livingfree]

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?

Twitch revamps rules on sexual content

I think I remember that news when they've became too strict with gambling contents from the streamers. It is ironic that they're too hard and forceful with gambling but when it's come to nudity that many children does see these contents as well, they're soft.

It's certainly double standards on their end but it's likely that they're earning more with those nudity contents. Anyway, we can always expect from them that they'll be like this and against gambling contents.

But when it's about these contents that they should censor, they won't.

This is really a case of double standard. The proponents of the ban might just be people having personal grievance or people whose religions background do not support gambling, what they could come up with is a ban hiding under incoherent reasons. I just imagine Twitter (X) banning gambling, that soundss ridiculous. 

What I also find strange is that gaming is not banned, even P2E games and other form of games that are similar to gambling. This is why I consider that decision double standard. If there is anything that should be banned for public safety, then nudity should top the list.

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.

    -   If we look at it, it is better that they get benefits from gambling than from nudity like that. Because, for sure, there are many communities in different parts of the world that can lose their communities.

We also do not know what is going through the mind of the owner of Twitch, but even so, it may be temporary, and it is also possible that in the present or in the future they will bring back the gambling streaming. I'm not very updated on Twitch.

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... 

None is better, the both can mislead young people.  When a teenager comes across a platform where nudity is being showcase it can really affect the person to things at an early stage when it is not the right time to live in such life. Maybe they feel gambling is dangerous that is why they didn't accept it in their platform, they  might be considering young people that is why they didn't accept gambling in their platform,  because it can really affect the life of young people to do terrible thing just to satisfy their urge in gambling.  I think they have reasons for such decisions because if we should compare the act they are not the same.

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

I don't usually get why you need to post like this. It's clear that Twitch allows only "Adult content such as nude drawings and sculptures are now permitted on streaming site Twitch - as long as it is deemed artistic.". Twitch only allows what they consider to be "artistic" nudity in the form of drawings and sculptures. Gambling content on social media like Twitch can be misleading because people often fake their winnings to promote their affiliate links and attract more players. Twitch has a policy against gambling content to protect its young audience. Because gambling can be harmful, and Twitch wants to make sure their users stay safe. They value their users and want to provide a responsible environment for them.

[len01]

I will not demean or badmouth other people here but it turns out that apart from gamblers who misunderstand gambling, even the development team or owner of a streaming platform has a mistake in understanding gambling and this has been visible from the start when Twitch considered gambling to be an outrageous act and gave permission about pornographic content.
from these 2 mistakes it is very clear that Twitch has made a mistake in understanding these 2 concepts because what we know for sure is that gambling is just entertainment like video games, whereas Twitch is a streaming platform about games and if Twitch thinks that gambling encourages someone to waste money, what about games? who has to make a deposit to buy items in the game shop?
and what's funnier or more ridiculous, Twitch is no longer a place for gamers to stream but a place to show body shape and sexiness for the sake of existence.

I dont know what influences all of this, but what is more precise is that the platform has an unfair view, only judging from several parties, so that it considers gambling as inappropriate behavior and has a bad impact in the long term, but Twitch doesn't think that sexy or pornographic content has a bad impact. also in the long term like rape etc.
and sometimes I'm very confused thinking about the platforms that are currently changing a lot of rules for the worse and one of them is the platform that is being discussed and I used to be there often but lately I dont have any interest in watching there.

even though in my opinion, if Twitch chooses to maintain gambling, it will definitely increase revenue and new people register on the platform, plus allowing sexy or pornographic content will make Twitch even bigger, but unfortunately it's a ridiculous decision from only one party.

[Gozie51]

This is surely a double standard by twitch. If they have decided to allow artistic nudity is same as pornography because those are going to be explicit pictures running in the mind of people including children. Nudity and gambling are suppose to be to the exclusive reserve of adults but with such nudity, children are going to be at risk.

To stream art works with naked bodies is only going to corrupt children more and the reason for banning gambling on their platform is more or less defeated.

We don't need to compare which is less evil or not, both nudity and gambling has a negative effect not just to young viewers, especially teens. If you ask what are the possible negative effects of allowing nudity, there are a lot especially to a teenager's mind. I don't want to be a hyprocite but being exposed early in such content might corrupt people's mind, it's absurd to think it will help countries with low birth rates. How about countries with high crime rate due to sexual acts.

Centralised organisations will act in the manner they deem fit to protect the interest of the business. They can also make decisions without considering if it is a double standard or not, all they want is to sustain the business and make a profit. Twitch stopped gambling ads because of pressure from its users because of a streamer who scammed many people to fund his gambling addiction. They had to bow to pressure to protect the platform's interest.

But I also think that the privilege of showcasing artistic nudity is abnormal considering that children will be exposed to it. But they will claim that they are promoting arts and the contents are not real. Maybe they might reconsider this decision if there are complaints that a streamer defrauded users and other content creators to fuel pornography addiction due to this artistic content. Maybe Twitch prefers to be reactive rather than proactive.

[Kelward]

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.

This is a high level of hypocrisy, banning gambling that you can watch and ignore and allowing nudity that can entice and even hypnotize the viewer. I quite disagree with members that thinks that gambling is more harmful than nudity, because I've educated my underaged son who asked me questions about gambling. So if he starts to see nudity at his age, how do I start to educate him about homones at his tender age?

I guess nudity can bring more traffic than gambling, if it's so then it'll be choosing the one that's more profitable to them, although it still beats me because gambling is also very profitable. We'll just watch and see how it plays out in the near future.

I find it funny that most p*rn websites can be accessed in our country (Philippines) but if you try to search online gambling platforms (e.g. Stake.com), our ISP has automatically banned it saying that "we should stay away from it." I will try to get a screenshot here so that everyone could see it!

Anyway, I do think that gambling has more impact compared to pornography. I mean, the only method that porn websites do to prevent minors from accessing their website is to press "accept" or "deny" if you are above 18. After that, you're in (no pun intended). But to most gambling websites, it contains stringent regulations in order for you to cash your proceeds out.

[bluebit25]

Things that are considered moral standards will gradually be replaced by benefits, and that is not too strange. The story of freedom in any field will be appreciated by everyone, but it will lose its general balance. There will be people who see it as disgusting, but on the contrary, there will also be people who accept it.

Similar to gambling, it is a social platform, but some countries still consider this activity illegal, so as long as players are responsible and within the rules. I also think that there will be negative effects, but if awareness is raised, the negative side can become just a fact of life.

this makes me laugh real hard, Like they banned gambling but allowed artistic nudity, seems like promoting pornography? and a lot of people here says that gambling is more harmful than nudity when we all know that this is both wrong and it is inappropriate because there's still young people who can view that kind of topic. Well, we have no right to protest about that, maybe those persons behind twitch is a fan of sexual things.

[piebeyb]

There are still many platforms besides Twitch where gambling is free to be promoted and perhaps we know that gambling and nudity are very dangerous for minors, which is why Twitch should not prohibit gambling content and should limit or filter users so that it cannot be accessed by minors because it is very vulnerable if it is seen and studied by minors, besides of course the way they prohibit it will only reduce their income and even their income will definitely decrease, especially since gambling is a very profitable business.

I think Twitch will also withdraw the ban on gambling in the future if in the end this nudity content is allowed by them, because I don't think gambling content is something scary for anyone because again, if Twitch bans it, it doesn't mean it can prevent it. people to gamble instead they will try other platforms where they can find gambling content and still gambling users are increasing every day, there is no big impact from the ban either

Hmm, really? I've seen some hot pictures of naked women on Youtube videos talking about this Twitch's last update.

Gambling content on social media like Twitch can be misleading because people often fake their winnings to promote their affiliate links and attract more players. Twitch has a policy against gambling content to protect its young audience. Because gambling can be harmful, and Twitch wants to make sure their users stay safe. They value their users and want to provide a responsible environment for them.

Well, it's a private company, as others said: their company, their rules. But it's undeniable their reasonings don't make any logical sense...

If the problem are fake screenshots of big winnings and scammers deceiving others through a successful gambler image, the correct is to fight the misinformation, like X social media has been doing in a transparent format, always pointing out when the information shared is false.

Now, it's contradictory to protect the young audience against gambling, but expose it to potential pornography. By the law this kind of content is only for +18 years old.


Nothing we say here will change anything at all, but it's valid to keep practicing the critical thinking capacity for YOURSELF in first place, so you don't resume your existence into becoming a fool or a sheep.

The real reason why gambling ban on twitch is because some streamers are asking for funding to their viewers which cause harm to their consumers. It’s not about being family friendly but rather the potential harm of gambling to the user of their platform that might cause them some lawsuit once affected users already file a complaint.

On the other hand, Artistic nudity is allowed in every social media platform. I don’t find them wrong as a man because it’s not a direct porno. Besides Twitch is not a family friendly platform tho.

[ethereumhunter]

There may be a reason why nudity is allowed by Twitch developers while gambling is not because gambling can have a greater negative effect on people who gamble more often. People who gamble more often can experience various problems after they gamble and this can impact the people around the gambler. So Twith developers probably think that gambling should not be allowed. Meanwhile, nudity may be truly artistic. But we need to find out why Twitch did this so we can only guess.

[o48o]

I see this as part of their lost fight. They counted on the vision that even if some users will leave, there will come "better" users to replace them, so they get more revenue from non-gamblers family-value types. But there's one flaw in that plan. And that is counting on the hope that anyone will come to their site. So shareholders are starting to get nervous as big sites die all the time because of bad decisions. So leadership wants to relax some other rules, but not the rule about gambling, because reversing that would make it seem like it was under incompetence leadership.

So they explore other routes. It wouldn't surprise me if they decided to go full onlyfans next to make their shareholders more profit.

[Sim_card]

Twitch see gambling as something evil bit they have seen artist nudity as something good to the public, this is unfair as a lot of teens below 18 will be tempted by those sculpture or arts. I see that they believe that they will have more customers than that of gambling and that was why they came up with this strategy no to lose out in business. They are doing this for money and nothing more, but I prefer gambling to this. Both gambling and light porn have their own side effect.

[electronicash]

when money is what motivates them, that could be a plan in motion. what doesn't make sense is that the casino streamers were sacked, they didn't make money from those gambling streamers?

nude art or not, i don't think it will still be a family-oriented photo. anyone looking at a picture even the nude art on deviantart.com can give you a boner. so it doesn't matter how they distinguish art and porno. twitch is not even a site for art but whatever they say.
