I didn't know the president had a Twitch account. >One of the streams in question was a rebroadcast of Trump’s infamous kickoff rally, where he said that Mexico was sending rapists to the United States. Twitch also flagged racist comments at Trump’s recent rally in Tulsa. Oh, it was a channel for campaign rallies. That makes more sense. But this puts us into deep hot water so far as content platforms go. This is removing the campaign content of a sitting president. For a platform to be unfavorable to on candidate over another as a matter of policy (whatsoever the official stated reasons may be) politicizes the platform, moves them into being "not a platform but a publisher". If there is to be any investigation of electoral meddling, it should be into the political bias of technology companies, and if Trump wins another term, that is likely exactly what will occur. |
