Donald Trump was banned from Twitch recently, and the move has both supporters and detractors of the U.S. President weighing in. According to The Verge, Twitch banned Trump’s account for “hateful conduct.” Twitch is a gaming site, where users can stream the video games they play, but the Trump Administration has been using it to broadcast and rebroadcast rallies and speeches.
The site flagged comments Trump made about the Hispanic community at both his initial presidential run announcement and his recent rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma. “Like anyone else, politicians on Twitch must adhere to our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines. We do not make exceptions for political or newsworthy content, and will take action on content reported to us that violates our rules,” a Twitch spokesperson previously told The Verge.” Scroll down to see what people from both sides of the aisle are saying about the move.

I donโt like him but this is a slippery slope. Corporations will be our new censorship tzars. Someone you like will be next. SAD!

Is it a coincidence that Molyneux was banned on YouTube, The Donald banned on Reddit and Trump suspended on Twitch on the same day?
โ PeterSweden (@PeterSweden7) June 30, 2020
Of course not.
It’s coordinated censorship.

Censorship is alive and well.

How much longer are we going to tolerate it @realDonaldTrump
WTF?!?!?! I was always secretly hoping he would do some game streaming with Barron. How adorable would that be. But on a serious note, WTF?!?!?!?! Does @Twitch think they know better than the American voters? Who do they think they are?

Social media companies continuing to ban content….the rise of decentralized autonomous alternatives is surely inevitable now. I can’t wait to see all centralized companies fall. Starting with Twitter

A good thing would be Banning the Animal abuser Alinity instead of banning someone who rarely streams on twitch for political points.
