Whitney Phillips, an assistant professor in the Department of Communication and Rhetorical Studies in the College of Visual and Performing Arts, was quoted in the New York Times story “” Twitch, a livestreaming platform owned by Amazon, said that “it was suspending President Trump’s channel for ‘hateful conduct,'” which appears to be the “first deliberate suspension of one of Mr. Trump’s social media accounts.” Professor Phillips, who specializes in disinformation and digital ethics, says that the move to suspend Trump’s channel is “definitely going to be weaponizable by people on the far right who can point to this” in order to “say that online platforms were biased against conservatives.”
