Twitch to ban users for sharing “misinformation,” even off the platform

On Thursday, Amazon-owned live streaming platform Twitch announced that it had updated its policies to address “misinformation” superspreaders.

In a blog post announcing the new rules, Twitch said that misinformation on its platform could cause real-world harm.

Now, the platform will not allow “harmful misinformation superspreaders who persistently share misinformation on or off of Twitch.”
