Twitch lifts its ban on Donald Trump


Trump was banned for three years.

By Jay Peters, a news editor who writes about technology, video games, and virtual worlds. Twitch has reinstated former President Donald Trump’s account after “indefinitely” suspending him following the January 6th, 2021, attacks on the US Capitol. In 2021, Twitch disabled Trump’s channel the day after the attacks before indefinitely banning him on January 20th “due to the ongoing risk of further incitement of violence,” a Twitch spokesperson said at the time.
