YouTube mentioned Tuesday it had eliminated new content material from President Trump’s official channel and can forestall movies from being uploaded for no less than every week.
The firm, which is owned by Google, mentioned the choice was made “After review, and in light of concerns about the ongoing potential for violence” within the wake of a pro-Trump riot that breached the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
“Given the ongoing concerns about violence, we will also be indefinitely disabling comments on President Trump’s channel, as we’ve done to other channels where there are safety concerns found in the comments section,” YouTube added.
