gate three cocktail hour with a bunch of girls having a drink so sometimes and i was like are we going to have to label our content as political now because it's generally not like but in terms of the service it counted but they have done an update on it like maybe a backtrack or clarification whatever you want to call it and they have said you don't actually now require a label if you're speaking about your own lived experience on topics

such as gender, race, sexuality, or religion. They've clarified in terms of politics, you can have informational educational content that shares knowledge in a neutral manner. So for example, they've given the US political situation.

They said, so you could share the history of how votes in the US works, how the election works, how they're counted, or encourage the concept of people to vote or register and vote. Those things are all okay. But if you're making a post supporting a specific candidate, that would need to be tagged as political content. And the same with sensitive social issues.

If you were making like if you were like, I'm going to have a political show talking about this particular group's rights and advocacy for them and things, then that would need to be tagged as that content. But if you are just a person existing in any minority group, you don't have to tag it as such is what they've clarified. And there is an article on.

So they've kind of clarified on it because before it was unclear. But it's important. Yeah. So that's kind of my understanding of the situation currently. So if you, like myself, are a queer Twitch streamer, you don't need to tag yourself as such constantly on every stream you do. It's my understanding.

What's happening here? But yeah, everything's fine, and our streams are still up, so clearly everything's okay. You know? Anyway.
