Australia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage. We traded our privacy for no reason. theconversation.com/more-than-80...

More than 80% of kids still using social media despite ban, new eSafety report finds

The report provides more evidence Australia’s world-leading social media ban isn’t going to plan.

July 2026 Year-over-Year Stats for Twitch Twitch continues its general downward trend, but the slide appears to be slowing. If it continues on the slowing curve it's on, the platform may level out (and maybe even show signs of growth) in 16-24 months.

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

Twitch will soon start enforcing a rule prohibiting the broadcasting of non-live DJ content. Starting in August, all creators in the DJ program must broadcast live content - no prerecorded or VOD channels. Warning, followed by Channel Ban enforcement.

Why we're making this change:
The DJ Program's live streaming policy reinforces that Twitch is all about live content that allows creators to connect with their communities in real time. Content that is solely rebroadcast or pre-recorded does not align with the intended purpose of Twitch or the DJ Program. To ensure the program continues to serve its purpose and support creators who are actively engaging with their audiences live, we are now moving to enforce this existing policy.

What's changing (enforcement only — not the policy):
Beginning in August, we will begin enforcing against channels enrolled in the DJ Program that stream pre-recorded content rather than broadcasting live, interactive sets. This includes replaying DJ sets on secondary accounts and streaming pre-recorded music videos without a live DJ presence.

What this means for you:
If your channel is currently streaming pre-recorded content while enrolled in the DJ Program, you will need to transition to live, interactive streaming to remain in compliance.

Enforcement approach:
You will receive a warning via email. Infractions incurred after the warning will result in a channel ban.

What you need to do:
If you believe your channel may be affected, please review your streaming setup and ensure you are broadcasting live, interactive content before August 2026.

What's not changing: This enforcement does not affect DJs who are already streaming live, interactive sets.Bild
