They've banned the leader of the free fricking world for saying tough hombre.
We've literally turned into Iran with nicer beaches.

Amazon’s video site Twitch, primarily used to stream e-sports, temporarily banned President Donald Trump from its platform Monday for posting “hateful conduct.” Twitch pointed to comments made at two rallies that led to its decision. At a campaign rally in 2016, which was recently rebroadcast on the platform, Trump said Mexico was sending over its bad actors, such as rapists or drug dealers. Twitch also pointed to Trump’s recent Tulsa rally, where he told a fictional story of a ‘tough hombre’ invading someone’s home.

That's Amazon's right. I don't see your point.

Enough is enough.
I wouldn't want this shite if it was the worst President that I disagreed most with.

It’s retarded.
We’re free to call them retarded and they’re free to ban him.

As a platform or publisher?

Is EVERY exercised "right" above any criticism from anyone or even above being a point for any possible discussion?

It's going to get real for these "platforms" if they no longer have immunity from liability. Yes, it's their right, but it also may very well backfire on them. I don't think the billionaire owners want to mess with their bottom lines.

Because I'm sure they're totally unbiased in who they ban and who they don't ban.

If you're insinuating that Amazon is an open forum, you're wrong. The analogy works for Twitter and Facebook, but "hate speech" is not protected speech anyway. Fighting words, obscene content, etc. does not garner full protection.
You make it sound like this was unconstitutional, but it's not. But it will piss some of the Trump supporters off, but they'll still buy from Amazon. So this comes across as you mouth breathers just exhaling.

Amazon, Twitch, Reddit....
Gosh, is it just me or was there a "4 AM Talking Point" telling websites and social media platforms to begin censoring Trump 4 months out from the election?

Twitch is an open forum imbecile
Therefore Amazon is acting like a publisher

You gathered all that by asking if they were a platform or publisher?

That is okey dokey though. Many people suffering from cranial rectal inversion experience similar symptoms.
