Twitch broadens licence purpose, extends political monetization ban, adds Brazil minor permit rule
Twitch's licence over user content may now be exercised in connection with Twitch and its affiliates' business, rather than only for monetizing the services. The ban on using monetization tools now covers politicians, campaign and party committees and government entities, not just candidates. Minors in Brazil now need a judicial permit before producing or distributing monetized or sponsored content.
