Today, Twitch unbanned Donald Trumpofficial channel. The Amazon-owned video game streaming site reversed the ban as Trump emerged as the official Republican candidate for the 2024 presidential election at the Republican convention earlier this week.
On June 29, 2020, the Twitch account of the then President of the United States Temporarily banned for hateful conduct. However, after violent riots occurred in Washington, DC, on January 7, 2021, Indefinite ban from Twitch, claiming that this was done to “prevent” Trump from using streaming media services to “incite further violence.” However, three years, five months and four weeks later, Trump’s official Twitter Account has been unblocked.
July 19, As first reported Author: Esports reporter Rod “Slasher” Breslau, Twitch decided to restore Trump’s official account. Breslau shared a statement from Twitch on Twitter explaining the revocation of the ban:
We restored former President Trump’s channel. We believe there is value in hearing directly from presidential nominees, if possible. Trump is now the official Republican nominee for President of the United States.
When he was blocked in June 2020, Twitch cited two instances of hate speech shared on his official streaming channel. One such incident included an infamous moment during a rally in 2016, which was replayed on the channel, in which Trump calls Mexican immigrants “rapists.” Listening to Trump’s recent speeches, not much has changed, with the former president still spewing hateful rhetoric, easily refuted lies, and other nonsense almost every time he speaks. But I guess that doesn’t matter to Twitch anymore.
my city Twitch has been contacted about Trump’s return to the platform.
Twitch also told Breslau that Trump must follow the rules if he wants to avoid another suspension.
“Twitch does not have a ‘public figure policy,’ which means all channels adhere to our guidelines equally, regardless of whether the channel is a public figure or not,” Twitch said.
Donald Trump, He recently survived an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania last week, has yet to update his Twitch channel. Currently also showing his former Vice President, Mike Pence, on homepage.
