Twitch suspends President Trump’s account for ‘hateful conduct’

Twitch has suspended President Donald Trump’s account from its platform, saying that he violated the streaming service’s policies by engaging in hateful conduct. The suspension is not a full ban, so Trump’s account could return to the site.

In a statement sent to esports consultant Rod “Slasher” Breslau, Twitch noted, “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.”
