Reddit, Twitch, Shopify, Discord Ban Donald Trump
Twitter’s permanent suspension came just hours after Reddit announced the destruction of the hugely popular r / Donaldtrump subreddit.

Axios said on Friday that TikTok is also “fixing content leaks and redirecting hashtags such as #stormthecapitol and #patriotparty to its community guidelines.”
“Reddit’s policy prohibits content that promotes hate or encourages, glorifies, incites or calls for violence against groups of people or individuals. Based on this, we actively reached out to moderators to remind them of our policies and offer support or resources as needed, ”a Reddit spokesperson told The Verge. “We have also taken steps to ban the r / donaldtrump community due to repeated policy violations in recent days regarding the violence in the United States Capitol.”

“Shopify does not tolerate acts that incite violence,” the company said in a statement. The president’s actions “violate our Acceptable Use Policy, which prohibits the promotion or endorsement of organizations, platforms, or people that threaten or condone violence. As a result, we closed all stores associated with President Trump.
