YouTube is banning President Donald Trump's channel for at least one week, and likely longer, as his channel earned a strike under the platform's policies, the company said Tuesday evening.
"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 would be indefinitely disabling comments on Trump’s account, referring to ongoing concerns about violence surrounding his recent postings.
Until Tuesday , YouTube had been the only remaining major social media platform for President Trump. Facebook has suspended Trump's account "indefinitely," while Twitter has banned Trump completely.
