> I’m not talking specifically about Twitch.

Ok, but this article is 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.

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?

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

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.
