Twitch has introduced a new censorship feature today, allowing users to avoid seeing adult content. In a bid to enhance the user experience, the popular streaming platform has rolled out several new filtering options that let users customize their content search experience. The most notable of these is the ability to censor adult content.
Twitch Implements Adult Content Censorship!
Today, Twitch unveiled a significant update that grants users more control over their viewing experience. One of the most prominent features of this update is the content filtering option. This move comes in response to the widespread use of the platform by various age groups, with sexually explicit streams often causing considerable controversy. With this new feature, users can now decide what type of content they want to encounter.
Twitch users can access the “content viewing preferences” section to hide sensitive content, such as sexually themed streams. Additionally, users can choose to blur the thumbnail images of content tagged with sexual themes.
How to Use the New Filtering Option?
To use this new filtering option, log in to your existing Twitch account. Then, go to settings > content preferences and activate the desired filtering option. Besides sexual themes, there are filters for substance abuse, profanity, violence, and adult-oriented game content. When the sexual themes filter is activated, the blurring feature will automatically be enabled.
More Control for Users
With the newly introduced feature, Twitch users can avoid content that makes them uncomfortable. This update gives users more control over their viewing experience, ensuring they do not encounter unwanted content. Whether there are any issues with the implementation of this new feature will become apparent in the coming days.
