Twitch, a streaming platform owned by Amazon mogul Jeff Bezos, has temporarily banned President Trumps account for hateful conduct stemming from footage of the presidents speeches.
Hateful conduct is not allowed on Twitch. In line with our policies, President Trumps 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 Trumps 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.

Means nothing to me if Trump wants to get around it he can address the nation anytime he wants and simple create a website where he links to his speeches completely free of the platform monitors
The war goes hot this year.
They just banned a dude with the biggest following on there.
Parler is the new improved site app for those sick of the Twitter censureship
I never went for Twitter at all.
I’m leaving Facebook tho.
Was Trump on Twitch? I’ve never heard of it.
And not just conservative voices. Today Reddit banned all “Gender critical” feminist subreddits (i.e. left-leaning feminists that think “trans women” don’t belong playing women’s sports, in their lockerrooms, etc.). If you’re not far left, you’re going to be removed from social media.
Right, Dr. Disrespect. Most likely it was for inappropriate texting with possibly underage, female viewers and or foul language. But he had a ton of viewers and was funny in an adult way..
Im not sure he was or not, but anyone can be on Twitch, its mostly streaming for gamers, but lately they have been growing their content and audience.
**You cant have fair elections if the media is trying to suspend the constitution.**
BTTT!
I just opened an account on parler.
Testing ... testing ...
I never joined any of the social media sites. Couldn’t get interested in doing so. I wanted to see what Parler was all about as there was/is so much whoop de do about it so I joined last week. I am losing interest quickly.
The only site that makes any sense to me, and that keeps free of all the totally unnecessary foul language (the ‘F’ word) used only to express the ignorance of the poster is Free Republic. My wife and I will support/remain here, and use the Parler site as a back up when the posting of news is slow at FR.
What, in the name of heaven, is more hateful than putting thousands of small businesses out of business? Remember bookstores?
I hate AMZ
Im on Parler, but if that site gets any traction, the Left will come after it and I bet dollars to doughnuts find a way to either kill it or make it useless.IMHO
Amazon is the height of Capitalism, provide products the consumer wants at a price that makes the owner a profit. Consumers have to make a conscious choice to keep their local stores in business, but its hard to do when I can buy a book for a big discount or an Kindle version for an even lower price or pay full retail at Barnes and Noble or some mom and pop shop. I love bookstores, I love to read so its a tough choice or me as I live in a very small town with NO bookstore and have to travel an hour to get to a brick and mortar or get online and have the book delivered to my doorstep often in 1 day. Tough choices but I dont fault Amazon for being successful.
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.
Big Tech is getting a mulligan for 2020 from the GOP to defeat Trump.
Bezos should be under subpoena now and facing a public keel hauling in a US Senate hearing for election interference. Sending a strong signal now that this will not be tolerated will certainly put the Dems/Big Tech off balance and on defense. That won’t be happening, of course, becuase the GOP wants Trump to lose every bit as much as the Democrats do.
