Washington (CNN Business)Twitch, the video streaming service popular with online gamers, has suspended an account belonging to the Trump campaign, becoming the latest tech platform to take action against President Donald Trump.

In a statement provided to CNN, Twitch, which is owned by Amazon (AMZN), said that "hateful conduct is not allowed."

"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," said Brielle Villablanca, a Twitch spokesperson.

He's too popular - the President must once again be silenced and lied about by CNN. Say, I don't recall the bootlicks at CNN ever retracting years worth of stories proven false about the President, do you?

I was never on Twitch, but thinking of switching from the Twit to Parler.

Twitch suspends Trump campaign account

Must be because of complaints from "Advertisers."

Too much cr@p is being thrown at Trump and conservatives. Constantly (by design). To fight each and every issue immediately would fry Trump well before Election Day. Heck, Trump could already be burnt out with what's happened in 2020.

I honestly don't know what the solution is, but the neck-breaking speed with which we are witnessing the destruction of the country is painful. If I didn't have a wife and adult kid I was close to, I would go off the grid since any attempt to try and fight back would find myself alone with little to no backup.

I hear you. It is insane how fast things are coming at us and none of it good. I’ve honestly forgotten what winning even feels like. Sure would be nice to see the Feds stand up and start cleaning house though.

At some point, how is what they and the other sites doing, not just free political donations to the DNC?

If you’re really interested in free speech you’ll regret beating up on the techs. They were walking a fine line allowing as much as possible while keeping advertisers on board.

Now that the advertisers have the bit between their teeth you’re going to find out who really runs the show.

Facebook, social media under more pressure from brands over hate speech

“... social media forums are going to kill themselves.”

I don’t believe they will, there is no one to stop them.

My money is on the money...money talks...It’s a no brainer the tech will NEED to keep the money and appear appropriately woke, they’ll ban the conservatives, this movement is going to pick up surprising speed, I’d say by the end of July you’ll be hard pressed to find a President Trump post on the internet.

How? With what? If he does he comes off looking like a dictator, like he’s mean and angry or worse, out of touch with the modern world and he gets even more skewered by social media and the networks, if he doesn’t he looks weak, and gets beat up by social media and the networks.

This is a really tough spot, combine this with Mail In voting, massive vote fraud (it’s not who votes, it’s who counts the votes), and November 2020 could be a very dark time for America
