Following last year’s controversy due to the American Capitol building attacks, Twitch previously decided to suspend former president Donald Trump’s Twitch channel. It seems as though Twitch has changed their minds and have indefinitely suspended Trump’s Twitch channel.

Twitch had previously suspended Donald Trump’s Twitch channel for the duration of his presidency, “In light of yesterday’s shocking attack on the Capitol, we have disabled President Trump’s Twitch channel.”

Twitch also issued another statement adding onto the above:

As of the inauguration of Joseph Biden as the new president of the United States, Twitch has now announced that they have decided to maintain their suspension of Donald Trump’s Twitch account indefinitely.

“We have indefinitely suspended President Trump’s Twitch channel due to the ongoing risk of further incitement of violence. The President’s statements continue to be interpreted as calls to action, and we are taking this action to remove the potential for harm to our community and the general public.

Twitch has clear rules that prohibit hateful conduct, harassment, or incitement of violence on our service, and we consider off-service events when making enforcement decisions. However, the events of the past weeks have highlighted a gap with respect to rhetoric that encourages violence, regardless of whether or not it was directly streamed on Twitch. We will be updating our policies as a result of our consideration of this situation.”

While this more than likely comes as no surprise to many, it’s still a big move from Twitch to indefinitely suspend Trump’s Twitch channel.
