He’s still the president of the USA. Not a random person.

I’m not talking specifically about Twitch.

At the moment where they make their platform public, they have no political nor moral authority to say what’s good or bad.

Tomorrow if the leadership changes, they can on the contrary censor everything but not Trump and you’ll have nothing to say then.

Ok, but this article is about Twitch.

So anything that is "public" cannot have moderation? A chess forum has to allow Osama bin Laden to post his political rants? Should it be illegal to run a website with moderation?

I'll say the same thing I am saying today: it's their own platform and they can moderate it however they want. If I don't like their moderation, I am perfectly capable of going elsewhere.
