Twitch, a streaming platform owned by Amazon mogul Jeff Bezos, has temporarily banned President Trump’s account for “hateful conduct” stemming from footage of the president’s speeches.

“Hateful conduct is not allowed on Twitch. In line with our policies, President Trump’s channel has been issued a temporary suspension from Twitch for comments made on stream, and the offending content has been removed,” a Twitch spokesperson told Fox News.

A rebroadcast of Trump’s 2015 campaign launch -- when he famously criticized people crossing the Mexican border to illegally enter the United States -- and comments Trump made at his recent Tulsa rally were flagged by Twitch.

Reddit and Twitch today.

It looks like we are heading into a virtual battle.

Let's face it. The leftist controlled internet businesses will do everything they can to swing the election to their favored candidates.

In the process they will validate the very ideas they are trying to silence.

"take them to court and make them prove it was ‘hateful content’"

Bingo! Make them provide a legal definition of 'hateful content', and then challenge them to uphold it every time a Lefty screams ... whatever crap they scream...

And if they do win the election, we will be washed from all media.

And it’s a distraction. You can’t have fair elections if the media is trying to suspend the constitution.

“Twitch, a streaming platform...”

Make that “a steaming pile.”

With large corps like Coke suspending their social media advertising in an attempt to pressure sm platforms into censoring and removing conservative voices, including President Trump, by October there will be no conservative presence on most of the internet. Television and radio will be next.

Might be a steaming pile but it’s got thousands of young, impressionable viewers. Conservatives are WAAAAYYYY behind on social media platforms and getting further back each day
