Within the same week, two major sources of uploaded content make some game changes.
Both YouTube and Twitch have announced changes to various rules and guidelines to help make their communities safer.
The new Twitch Community Guidelines, which take effect February 19th, mostly focus on harassment and sexual content. You can read the official blog entry here.
YouTube is responding to the recent questionable actions and content of specific content providers by announcing they will take action against said content. They aren't exactly saying they are changing the community guidelines, but they are saying there will be changes to how they respond and react to certain violations. Such actions include (but are not limited to) removing monetization rights.
There has been some confusion (especially on the Twitch side), but the response to YouTube relating to recent events seems to be mostly positive and being seen as a step in the right direction.
