The title of the article is “Twitch quickly reverses policy that “went too far” allowing nudity —
Twitch confirmed its policy banning nudity was sexist.”
The title does need updated, but I suspect it was accurate at the time of posting 23 hours ago. The article appears to have been updated at least twice, based on the URL.
That’s my biggest gripe with online news articles. Editing titles and content.
I witnessed it happen in real time a couple months back when they were switching between Hamas and IDF bombing that hospital, modern media is a shambles
It’s not really editing titles. They publish it with various titles that get split-tested at first, whichever version of the title gets more clicks then becomes the only title used.
“Now, labeled content is allowed that features “body writing on female-presenting breasts and/or buttocks regardless of gender” and “erotic dances that involve disrobing or disrobing gestures, such as strip teases.”

In one prominent example, just two days before the policy change, Twitch banned OnlyFans model Morgpie for posting “topless” streams.
Hession confirmed that Twitch’s policy prohibiting “content that ‘deliberately highlighted breasts, buttocks or pelvic region,’ even when fully clothed” was confusing.
“Streamers found it difficult to determine what was prohibited and what was allowed and often evaluating whether or not a stream violated this portion of the policy was subjective,” Hession wrote.
The only exceptions will be made for streams labeled as including mature-rated games and profanity, which will still appear in the main feed on the homepage.
“In addition to providing clarity, these updates will also reduce the risk of inconsistent enforcement and bring our policy more in line with other social media services.”
“With the updated terms of service, content on Twitch containing mature themes will be allowed but no longer pushed on the homepage of the site,” Morgpie told Dexerto.

Maybe it should be a requirement to preserve original headlines at the bottom of the article if they change it.
OK, not requirement, who would ever enforce that, but it would be a nice trend, if nothing else.
