Amazon.com Inc.’s livestreaming site Twitch has reinstated former President Donald Trump’s account three years after he was banned.

In January 2021, Twitch removed Trump’s account “indefinitely” after the riot at the US Capitol “due to the ongoing risk of further incitement of violence,” a spokesperson said at the time. Trump was previously banned in 2020 for what Twitch called “hateful conduct.”
