Twitch lets parents block teens from livestreaming
Twitch has launched new parental control tools, allowing guardians to block teens aged 13-17 from livestreaming for the first time since its 2011 launch. The Family Center dashboard enables parents to restrict various activities, including direct messaging and content recommendations, while providing weekly updates on their teen's platform activity. This move marks a significant shift in teen safety measures on the platform, which previously relied on passive protections.
