Now YouTube joins web giants banning Trump after suspending President’s vids over ‘violence threat’
YOUTUBE has joined Facebook, Twitter and Instagram in banning US President Donald Trump’s channel.
The Google-owned video site announced Tuesday it is suspending President Trump’s channel for at least a week.
YouTube also removed content from the White House's channel for violating policy.
The company also said it has issued one strike against Trump’s channel. A second strike would result in a two-week suspension and a third strike means the channel would be terminated.
The move comes after Twitter permanently banned Trump’s personal account on Friday amid the violent Capitol Hill riot.
The president said on Friday he is in the last set of tweets he sent out before Twitter permanently banned both his personal and campaign accounts.
The social media bans follow the mass riots at the Capitol last week, where five people including Trump loyalist and cop were killed.
MAGA rioters stormed the Capitol building on January 6 to halt the Electoral College vote certification.
One of the rioters, , appeared in court yesterday and faces up to 10 years in jail.
The social media bans come as the calling on Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove President Trump from office in light of the Capitol riot.
