Add Twitch to the list.

The Amazon-owned streaming platform popular with gamers has joined Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Shopify in suspending the President's account.

In a letter to Kotaku, the company explained its reasoning.

"In light of yesterday's shocking attack on the Capitol, we have disabled President Trump's Twitch channel," the spokesperson wrote. "Given the current extraordinary circumstances and the President's incendiary rhetoric, we believe this is a necessary step to protect our community and prevent Twitch from being used to incite further violence."

At this rate, we may be looking at a future in which Trump has no online presence at all.

Crazy!
