Safety

How it works:
  • Choose a relevant category for your idea and check to see if any other users have already submitted this suggestion before creating your own
  • Be clear with your suggestion, provide examples and solutions to the problem you are posing. Suggestions without actionable feedback may be closed without comment
  • Upvote existing ideas, as opposed to creating multiple similar requests
  • Be sure to share your suggestion with others to gain more support!
  • Note: Suggestions are not guarantees that we will take action on an idea. We will try our best to communicate why an idea may not work, but may not always be able to share that information.
  • Titles that are unclear or unnecessarily vulgar may be reworded to better reflect the request for ease of discovery

  1. Remove "sensitive social issues" bullet point.

    Twitch should remove the "sensitive social issues" clause from Article VII of its Content Classification Guidelines. LGBTQ+ people, immigrants, and reproductive rights are NOT "sensitive social issues", they are common sense issues, where one side simply wants their liberties intact.

    Thank you for raising this. We’ve just posted a Tweet addressing these concerns.

Intermittent mentions of politics, politicians, or sensitive social issues also do not require the Politics and Sensitive Social Issues label. We apologize for not communicating this well initially.

    If you are an LGBTQ+ streamer, for example, you do not need this label when talking about your lived experience as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. We’ve added clarifying language to the Content Classification Guidelines to better express this.
