Twitch said Thursday<\/a> it will ban users who repeatedly spread harmful misinformation on its platform. The streaming site said the new rules won\u2019t apply to users based on \u201cindividual statements or discussions\u201d on a channel but to users \u201cwhose online presence is dedicated to (1) persistently sharing (2) widely disproven and broadly shared (3) harmful misinformation topics,\u201d the new policy states<\/a>. Twitch considers such users \u201charmful misinformation superspreaders.\u201d <\/p>\n

The company chose those three criteria because, when grouped together, they \u201ccreate the highest risk of harm including inciting real world harm,\u201d according to a blog post outlining the new policy. <\/p>\n

Twitch stressed in the blog post that the update \u201cwill likely not impact you or the streamers you love\u201d and added that users who spread misinformation are not prevalent on the platform. But the company recognizes the harm that such users could cause if left unchecked. <\/p>\n

The content covered under Twitch\u2019s misinformation ban includes false information about COVID-19 vaccines or harmful health misinformation, election fraud or other content that \u201cundermines the integrity of a civic or political process,\u201d any misinformation \u201cpromoted by conspiracy networks tied to violence and\/or promoting violence,\u201d as well as misinformation that targets protected groups, which the company notes is already barred under its Hateful Conduct & Harassment Policy<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
