I'm hoping that Twitter were nervous to be the first ones to do it and now that other companies are banning him for good twitter will be more willing to drop the hammer.

Shit, was really looking forward to tuning in to his speed runs.

Business Tycoon. He went bankrupt.

He streamed his rallies. It's not just gaming stuff on there.

Didn't know that. That's even more reason to ban him there. The less visible his rhetoric is, the better.

I can only imagine him streaming the same two nights AOC did, getting a quarter of the viewers, and angrily muttering throughout the stream about how all her viewers are from China.

It's even more important than Twitter in my opinion because it was used to radicalize youth. Twitter reaches the adults and is more dear to Trump but the youth are more important for our future.

I keep hearing he can't post on Twitter anymore also.

Twitter is a temp ban for now. They said his next post that violates their TOS will be perma. Hopefully they change their mind before then and make it permanently.

 

[nihilence]

I thought it was already banned.

Sooooo are they DDoSing Twitch because of this by chance? Everything is down.

The ban was sustained today:

Twitch’s Trump ban sustained after leaving office

Video-streaming account launched in 2019, faced first suspension in 2020.

arstechnica.com

On Wednesday, an automated alert about Twitch account bans included a somewhat surprising account name: "@DonaldTrump." The surprise came because Twitch had already "indefinitely suspended" the former president's official Twitch channel on January 7, in the wake of his January 6 speech inciting a seditious riot—and a surge in Trump deplatforming as a result.

Following this Wednesday alert, Twitch confirmed to Ars Technica that this was no accident: Trump's account is indeed outright banned. Twitch continues to call the ban an "indefinite suspension," but it has not offered any timeline for its return or steps that its account holders (either Trump himself or any representatives) may take to reverse the decision. Wednesday's news lines up with a Tuesday claim by DW News reporter Dana Regev, who'd hinted to Twitch waiting until after President Biden's inauguration to make a firmer ruling on the previous ban.
