Amazon owned Twitch un-bans Trump’s channel suspended for ‘hateful conduct’
Twitch, the livestreaming platform, recently suspended President Donald Trump’s channel for “hateful conduct,” in what appeared to be the first deliberate suspension of one of Trump’s social media accounts.
The site, which is owned by Amazon, said two recent streams on Trump’s channel violated its rules. One stream was of a rebroadcasted 2015 campaign event in which Trump made comments about Mexico sending drugs, crime and rapists over the border. The other was of his recent rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he talked about a “very tough hombre” breaking into a woman’s house at 1 a.m.
“Hateful conduct is not allowed on Twitch,” a Twitch spokesperson said in a statement. “In line with our policies, President Trump’s channel has been issued a temporary suspension from Twitch for comments made on stream, and the offending content has been removed.”
With its move, Twitch went further than other social media platforms. In recent months, some tech companies have become more proactive in handling speech issues by Trump and his supporters. Twitter began adding labels to some of the president’s tweets; Snap has said it will stop promoting Trump’s Snapchat account; and Reddit on Monday said it would ban “The_Donald” community, which had been a highly influential digital gathering place for Trump’s acolytes.
But unlike those efforts, Twitch directly clamped down on the president himself, temporarily shutting down his ability to post videos on a channel. The only other time Trump had one of his social media accounts suspended was by accident in 2017, when his Twitter account was unexpectedly disabled by a rogue contractor who was leaving Twitter that day.
Twitch now unbanned Trump’s account, which is available again.
Dave Clark, CEO of Amazon’s worldwide consumer business and a top lieutenant of CEO Andy Jassy, will resign July 1, after 23 years at the company, Amazon announced in a regulatory filing Friday.
Clark is the latest member of Bezos’ former inner circle to exit the company. He joined Amazon’s operations division in 1999 and quickly rose through the ranks. He is credited with scaling Amazon’s fulfillment and logistics programs, which have become the backbone of its retail business.
Clark is one of a handful of the most important executives at Amazon, overseeing the company’s retail business, and a member of Jassy’s S-Team, a tight-knit group of over a dozen senior executives from almost all areas of Amazon’s business. He took over the role in 2020 after Jeff Wilke stepped down.
As CEO of Amazon’s worldwide consumer business, Clark oversees a number of key units, including online stores, physical stores, the marketplace of third-party sellers, and the Amazon Prime subscription business, all of which generated more than 75% of Amazon’s revenue in the quarter ended March 31.

Amazon is closing 68 retail stores, ending Amazon Books, 4-star and Pop Up shops
Amazon is shutting down all its Amazon Books physical bookstores, as well as its Amazon 4-star and Amazon Pop Up shops, which sold a variety of electronics and other popular items.
The closures affect 68 stores across the U.S. and U.K. The dates for closures are not given yet and will vary by location. Amazon said it would help affected employees find roles elsewhere in the company.
Sales growth of the physical stores unit has noticeably lagged the company’s overall retail business. Physical stores, which includes Whole Foods and Fresh outlets, reported lower sales in 2021 than in 2018.
Amazon is trimming its physical retail business after coming off its slowest growth rate for any quarter since 2001. Shares are down more than 8% so far this year, and the stock was the worst performer in the Big Tech group last year.
The company also said that it would continue to focus on its Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods Market grocery chains, Amazon Go convenience stores, and to embrace the Just Walk Out cashierless technology.

On 31.January 2022, Amazon experienced another wave of technical outages following similar ones happening over the past month, affecting their marketplace platform, Amazon Web Services, Alexa or Amazon Echo.
AWS’s official Service Health Dashboard hasn’t acknowledged any issues yet, which can be confirmed on their official website: https://status.aws.amazon.com.
However, thousands of outraged users across the world complained and reported the matter to DownDetector, which confirmed that problems began at 8 PM EST:
For Amazon Sellers, it causes any orders confirmed as dispatched to remain in the unshipped status.
Additionally, even order IDs which were already successfully confirmed as dispatched hours ago are again popping up in the Unshipped section, with their tracking information removed. This is extremely confusing, especially for merchants processing thousands of sales, who are now struggling to distinguish between shipped and unshipped orders.
Sellers are also reporting that updates to stock are not taking place. This applies to inventory quantities and prices updated directly through the Seller Central or using third party inventory managers that consolidate sales from different marketplaces.
