Ofcom publishes evaluation of Twitch’s content classification labelling rules

Ofcom has released an Economics Discussion Paper reviewing the effect of Twitch’s updated content classification labels, implemented in June 2023.

It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each.
