Twitch has addressed the livestreaming of explicit deepfake content on its platform in a new safety blog post. It follo…
The blog post firstly addresses the incorrect use of the term"deepfake porn", instead opting for"synthetic non-consensual exploitative images" or"synthetic NCEI". Pornography should be consensual, while there are multiple methods used to create non-consensual content and Twitch admits its approach should reflect that range of technologies.Firstly, it is updating its policies to reflect the change in language to"synthetic NCEI".
Secondly, Twitch is working with safety expert Danielle Keats Citron, a law professor and vice president of the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative, and experts from the UK Revenge Porn Helpline for support on efforts in this space. Finally a Creator Camp will be held on 14th March held by Zara Ward, an NCEI expert and manager at the Revenge Porn helpline, with advice on online protection.
"The emerging trend of 'deepfake' content online will bring with it a lot of questions, and will require careful and thoughtful consideration in our planning, response, and actions. Not all synthetically-created content is sexual in nature, nor is all of it non-consensual. This topic is very much on our radar, and we are always monitoring emerging behaviours to ensure our policies remain relevant to what's happening on our service," reads the blog post.
"But one thing is clear: when it's used to create synthetic NCEI, that nuance disappears. The creation, promotion, or viewing of this content is not welcome on Twitch."
