A video released by President Trump during yesterday’s riot at the US Capitol spurred ample backlash and triggered a cascading series of restrictions on POTUS social media accounts. Facebook and YouTube were among the first to pull the video from their platforms; Twitter locked Trump’s account for 12 hours. Bigger changes happened in the hours since, and now Twitch is counted among the companies deplatforming the president. Twitch, a video streaming website popular with game streamers, has disabled President Trump’s account over the ‘extraordinary circumstances’ and his ‘incendiary rhetoric,’ the company said in a statement to Polygon.
