President Donald Trump's Twitch Account Is Banned Due To "Hateful Conduct" Which Begs The Question...Wait, Trump Has A Twitch Account?
TheVerge - Twitch has temporarily banned President Donald Trump, in the latest surprise and high-profile suspension from the streaming service. Trump’s account was banned for “hateful conduct” that was aired on stream, and Twitch says the offending content has now been removed. One of the streams in question was a rebroadcast of Trump’s infamous kickoff rally, where he said that Mexico was sending rapists to the United States. Twitch also flagged racist comments at Trump’s recent rally in Tulsa. “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 told The Verge. The statement was originally issued last year when Trump’s channel was launched. The suspension arrives a week after Twitch swore it would crack down on harassment within the community following reports of assault and harassment from streamers. It’s a sign that Twitch may be starting to take moderating streams a lot more seriously. The racist language it banned Trump for is often allowed on other platforms due to his role as a politician and president of the United States. Twitch reckons with sexual assault as it begins permanently suspending streamers Twitch said last week that it would begin issuing permanent bans to streamers in response to the allegations coming out. The Trump campaign launched its Twitch page in October. The campaign appeared to use the page for broadcasting rallies and campaign events. The Verge has reached out to the Trump campaign for comment. Just minutes before Twitch suspended Trump, Reddit said it had banned a number of subreddits for harassment, including r/The_Donald. The subreddit is not directly affiliated with the president, as the Twitch channel is.
Well there's something you don't see everyday. No, I'm not talking about the banning. Twitch has been handing out suspensions and bans left and right recently as shit has been hitting the fan will all sorts of allegations coming out. I'm talking about Trump having a Twitch account. Sure, you can stream anything you'd like within reason, but you sure can't get tazed, be involved in a potential SWATTING incident, or promote "Hateful Conduct". What a scene. Then again, getting suspended on Twitch is like getting pinched for the first time in Goodfellas. It really happens to everyone for one reason or another (mostly due to DMCA strikes or Twitch making mistakes, which they do all too often). Maybe Trump should now take his talents to Facebook Gaming.
Still zero word on Dr. Disrespect, which is beyond odd. Till then, we're entering the MFAM Gauntlet today vs. Nickmercs and The World
Let's cook.
