Popular Google-owned YouTube on Tuesday has announced the temporarily suspension of President Donald Trump’s channel and the removal of a video for violating its policy against inciting violence.
According to YouTube, “In light of concerns about the ongoing potential for violence, we removed new content uploaded to Donald J. Trump‘s channel for violating our policies,”
It added that the channel is now “temporarily prevented from uploading new content for a ‘minimum’ of 7 days,” the statement read.
Last week, Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts were suspended by Facebook following the violent invasion of the US Capitol by a mob of his supporters, which temporarily disrupted the certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s election victory.
Twitter went a step further by deleting Trump’s account, depriving him of his favorite platform while services like Snapchat and Twitch also denied him access to their platform.
