>why anyone cares what is streamed there brand? Twitch goes from live streaming persona life to gamer to soft cam girls? i would think Amazon cares about the Twitch brand.

Why can't it be both? What's wrong with cam girls? I am a libertarian capitalist. If a woman wants to sell her body, 100% more power to her. We should be moving towards freedom of expression, not away from it. If you don't want to look at it, that is also fine and I respect that, but don't put these bizarre tightrope-walky restrictions on what can and cannot be seen. The twitch announcement is absurd.

  Not everyone shares your views. Most people probably don't, and Twitch wants to keep the majority happy, not just you. But more importantly, advertising. Once you're known as a website with lots of pornography, expect your cost per ad to drop to about 10%. And with potentially unmoderated adult content you risk having all major payment providers refusing to do business with you. See what happened to Pornhub about non-verified user uploaded content a year or so ago. Requiring things like uploading ID in order to stream will harm the non-adult segments of Twitch. So unless they want to go full-on porn site, mixing adult and non-adult just harms the rest of the business.

  Not even an exclusive libertarian viewpoint. Libertarians should only care if force is used as a response to freedom of expression, but it says nothing about it being inherently good or that it shouldn't be shamed out of decent society. Places that overly promote nudity for the masses tend to be dump cities, none of which are very friendly to libertarian ideas.

  > don't put these bizarre tightrope-walky restrictions on what can and cannot be seen you seem fragile. I just pointed out branding might be an issue. let's be honest. Amazon u-turns the nude policy because of ads. how many brands will pull ads when they found out Twitch is a porno site.

  > I am a libertarian capitalist. So presumably you agree that a corporation is perfectly entitled to set completely arbitrary rules about how their platform is used? Even if it causes some of their potential customers to abandon them? After all, if there's sufficient demand then a competitor will spring up that relaxes some of those arbitrary rules and eats their lunch.
