Streaming platform Twitch has been forced to abandon a loosening of its policy on sexual content because it led to a flood of AI-generated nudity.
It announced on Wednesday that more adult content was to be allowed, as long as it was deemed artistic.
That prompted a torrent of digitally generated nudes, and by Friday the firm announced a U-turn.
"Upon reflection, we have decided that we went too far with this change," CEO Dan Clancy said in a statement.
He said some of the imagery that had been allowed under the new guidelines was "met with community concern".
