Deepfake enables people to put another person's face over someone else's, effectively creating a digital clone of that person. While these deepfakes have telltale signs, this has not stopped irresponsible individuals from making pornography of celebrities, influencers, and even ordinary people. Twitch has announced that they will be cracking down on deepfake pornography effective immediately. This decision was made in light of a recent controversy involving a Twitch streamer who was caught using a website that produces deepfake pornography of the streamer’s fellow streamers. Despite issuing a public apology, the offending streamer received brickbats from the Twitch community. The site was thankfully taken down, but that didn't stop the women involved from feeling objectified, among other things. Twitch, on the other hand, is doing everything it can to resolve the issue. The streaming service issued a statement recently, referring to the incident as "synthetic non-consensual expolitative images" or

Twitch has finally released a statement about deepfake pornography after an incident in January involving multiple high-profile streamers. The company has vowed to take immediate action, which includes a change to the platform's policy, consulting with an online safety expert, and a Creator Camp to help streamers protect themselves.The blog post says that although deepfake porn isn't a problem on Twitch specifically, which has pre-existing guidelines banning explicit content, it is an issue that affects mostly female streamers who use or are partnered with the platform. "Though we have the most control over what happens on our own service, we want to help streamers protect themselves or respond quickly to this kind of situation anywhere it arises," the statement from Twitch reads.To that end, Twitch is updating its policies to include harsher penalties for anyone on its platform caught promoting, creating, or sharing this kind of imagery. The policy update includes a new term for what is generally known as "deepfake porn," with Twitch labelling it "synthetic non-consensual exploitative images" or "synthetic NCEI" for short. Twitch explains that the term "pornography" is inappropriate, as porn should refer to consensual acts undertaken by willing performers, while "synthetic images" is used to

Twitch VTuber Shylily has signed with the recently launched talent management agency Mythic Talent. The announcement came on March 5 via Mythic Talent’s Twitter account.  In VTuber terms, Shylily will continue to be regarded as “independent” following her affiliation with Mythic Talent, much like Bao and Shxtou who signed to United Talent Agency on Aug. 17. On Jan. 19, Ironmouse Ironmouse signed to UTA alongside her ongoing affiliation with VShojo.  Unlike VTuber agencies such as Hololive and Nijisanji, Mythic Talent is closer to a traditional talent agency. The agency exists to assist talents in the background with sponsorship, content management, and merchandising, as opposed to managing the streamer’s brand and identity in the manner of a typical VTuber-focused agency. Fans should not expect a shift in Shylily’s content. Shylily shared her excitement with the Mythic Talent, writing, “HAPPY TO BE PART OF THE TEAM!!” followed by her iconic “WOMP WOMPPPPPPP!!” Mythic Talent boasts a wide variety of talents including fellow VTuber Buffpup as well as traditional streamers such as Sodapoppin and Asmongold. The agency launched on March 1 with a combined total of over 60 content creators. Shylily experienced a meteoric rise in popularity following her VTuber re-debut in January

Twitch is quite a popular live-streaming platform used by millions of people across the world on a daily basis. The company frequently makes aesthetic changes to its platform with the aim of improving the user experience. It recently released an app update, which brought bug fixes, stability fixes, and app optimizations. However, it looks like these changes have not been well received by some Apple TV users. Several Twitch users (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) have complained that the new app update for Apple TV is terrible, citing a number of reasons. Even though the company managed to clean up the UI of the app, some feel that Twitch chose style over functionality. It is alleged that Twitch removed a lot of useful features to make the user experience more streamlined. For instance, after the latest update, users are unable to read chat replays while watching older videos on demand. Also, one now needs to scan a QR code first in order to interact in the live chat sessions. The patch also removed the ability to view offline channels followed by a user. Also, one can no longer sort content on the ‘Browse tab’ by ‘Most viewed’. Some UI bugs and glitches also make
