Twitch takes a harder stance against explicit deepfakes

Engadget

Twitch already forbids explicit deepfake images and videos, but it's taking a tougher position against them today. The livestreaming service is updating its policy on adult nudity to include a ban on synthetic NCEI (non-consensual exploitative images), even if it's only shown briefly or to criticize its existence. It's also revising ts sexual violence and exploitation policies to make clear that intentionally making and sharing non-consensual deepfakes can lead to a ban with the first offense. The policy changes should take effect within the next month. The company hopes the added clarity and modernized language will deter potential offenders.
