New Twitch policy bans the word ‘Zionist’ amid antisemitism accusations - Dexerto


Twitch has updated its Hateful Conduct policy to include provisions surrounding the word ‘Zionist’ – but users are divided.

On November 15, 2024, Twitch pushed out an update to its Hateful Conduct policy, making specific changes around usage of the word ‘Zionist’ on its platform. “Starting today, using the term ‘Zionist’ to attack or demean another individual or group of people on the basis of their background or religious belief is against our rules,” the post reads. This update comes in the wake of several high-profile streamers claiming they’ve been demonetized on the platform due to including content tags representing their race and country of origin, sparking further backlash against the site.
