New Filter Settings Coming to Twitch: Unwanted Categories Will Be Hidden!

Twitch It has updated the filter settings it offers to users, and content containing sexual, violent and profane content can now be excluded at the request of users.

These new filter settings allow users to disable certain content tags, according to the platform’s description. Under the recently introduced Content Classification Guidelines, publishers were required to tag content such as sexuality, depictions of violence, gambling and excessive use of profanity in their publications.

Thanks to these new filter settings, users will now be able to filter the genres they do not want to see, so they will not encounter these broadcasts anywhere on Twitch.

Previews of Sexually Themed Broadcasts Will Be Blurred

These new Content classification filters will be available under Content Display Preferences in profile settings. Once the filters are turned on, they will be valid everywhere on Twitch, and when you want to turn them off again, you will need to edit your changes in the same section.

In addition, today Twitch introduces another innovation. Post thumbnail preview images will now be blurred on posts tagged as sexually themed. This feature will be on by default and can be turned on or off via settings.
