YouTube has announced that it will be suspending the account of President Donald Trump for a week or more after it violated the rules of the platform. The platform shared that a video on the president’s channel incited violence but failed to share which video it was.
“After careful review, and in light of concerns about the ongoing potential for violence, we removed new content uploaded to the Donald J. Trump channel and issued a strike for violating our policies for inciting violence,” a YouTube spokesperson said in a statement. “As a result, in accordance with our long-standing strikes system, the channel is now prevented from uploading new videos or livestreams for a minimum of seven days which may be extended.”
YouTube also said it will be taking the extra step of disabling comments underneath videos on Trump’s channel. Facebook has suspended Trump’s account indefinitely, while Twitter has banned Trump completely for violating the rules of the social media platform.
