Twitch introduces new filtering tools that lets you exclude sexual and violent content

Twitch has updated its filtering tools to allow the exclusion of livestreams that feature mature themes, like sexual, violent and profane content. In other words, you wont have to sift through hundreds of gross streams just to find someone innocently drinking soda pop and playing through Hades 2. These new filter settings let people opt out of specific content labels, per the platforms recently-introduced Content Classification Guidelines. These guidelines require creators to appropriately label livestreams if they include stuff like sexual imagery, depictions of violence, gambling, excessive profanity and drug use. These labels also apply when streaming mature-rated games. This will allow for a more curated experience, as people will be able to hide entire categories when searching for something to watch. Previously, these content labels were only used as data points to help Twitch users make informed viewing decisions.
