Amazon’s video site Twitch temporarily bans Trump for ‘hateful conduct’

Amazon’s video site Twitch, primarily used to stream e-sports, temporarily banned President Donald Trump from its platform Monday, citing “hateful conduct” in his posts. 

Twitch pointed to comments made at two rallies that led to its decision. At a campaign rally in 2016, which was recently rebroadcast on the platform, Trump said Mexico was sending over its bad actors, such as rapists or drug dealers. Twitch also pointed to Trump’s recent Tulsa rally, where he told a fictional story of a ‘tough hombre’ invading someone’s home.

“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 CNBC.
