The new rules are the subject of a post over on the Google Developer Blog and are an evolution of existing policies that deal with content and advertising guidelines for kids' apps.

I am never surprised when water is wet, and i will not be surprised that racist trolls will do racist Trolly things. If you have played any video game online in the past decade you know there is always that one guy who makes monkey noises over the room chat or drops the N-word  with the hardest of Rs like he really bout that Yo!. well it seem streamers on Twitch are running into the same issue.  During a recent stream hosted by prominent leftist streamer Hasan Piker, a familiar scene unfolded. He was talking about a 1985 trip Bernie Sanders took to Nicaragua when his Twitch chat started spamming the “Cmonbruh” emote, an image of a skeptical-looking man. The reason they did it? Because the man in the emote is black, and because the word “Nicaragua” shares some syllables with a racist slur.  Lets just say Hasan got Triggered.
