Trump suspended from Twitch and Reddit shuts down supporters' forum

Donald Trump has been suspended from livestreaming platform Twitch for "hateful conduct" and Reddit has shut down a forum for the president's supporters.

Twitch, which is owned by Amazon, said it had temporarily banned the president's channel because it violated its hateful conduct policy.

"Hateful conduct is not allowed on Twitch," a spokeswoman said.

"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."

She said one of the streams was a rebroadcast of a 2016 Trump rally in which the president said Mexico was sending rapists to the United States.
