YouTube suspends Trump channel, removes video

YouTube suspended Donald Trump’s channel and deleted a video for breaching its policy against inciting violence, the latest penalty by the social media giant against the US president.

Online platforms and social media companies are distancing themselves from and taking action against, those who encouraged or engaged in last week’s deadly violence on the US Capitol by the president’s supporters.

“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,” YouTube said in a statement.

The channel is now “temporarily prevented from uploading new content for a minimum of 7 days”, it said.

The video-sharing platform also said it will be “indefinitely disabling comments” on Trump’s channel because of safety concerns.
