YouTube has suspended US President, Donald Trump’s channel
for at least a week.
The video-sharing platform made this known in a statement,
explaining that a video uploaded to President Trump’s channel violated the
site’s policy against inciting violence.
As a result, Youtube suspended Trump’s ability to share
content on the platform for at least seven days.
YouTube, however, did not provide any details of the video
on Trump’s channel which violated its policy and led to the “first strike.”
But five out of the six videos uploaded to the channel on
Tuesday were clips from the far-right One America News (OAN) network with
Trump’s comments delivered at an appearance in Alamo, Texas.
Part of the statement read: “After a review, and 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.
“The content nw has its first strike and is temporarily
prevented from uploading new content for a *minimum* of 7 days.”
Youtube also disabled comments on President Trump’s channel.
According to YouTube’s “three strikes” guidelines, if a
channel receives a second strike within 90 days it will be suspended for two
weeks, a third strike results in a permanent ban.
YouTube’s move is coming after Facebook, Instagram, Twitter
and other platforms permanently banned Trump following riot at US Capitol on
Friday.
