Twitch and Reddit Inc. banned content linked to President Donald Trump for violating their rules against encouraging hate.

Twitch, Amazon.com Inc.’s live streaming site, temporarily banned Trump’s account for reposting a 2016 speech in which he characterized Mexicans as rapists and a more recent speech in which he conjured up the image of an evil-doer breaking into a house.
