Update to Tag Guidelines regarding Suicide Awareness/Prevention
Recently Twitch updated their guidelines and with the update the tags "Suicide Prevention" & "Suicide Awareness" have been removed as tags as they go against Twitch community guidelines. I am appalled that Twitch would remove advocacy for people who are trying to promote better mental health through trying to prevent suicide. I have been a strong advocate of suicide prevention through having discussions about mental health in order to remove the stigma around it. I hope that Twitch reconsiders this decision to blanket ban any tag with the word 'suicide' in it so we can go back to utilizing this platform for good.
