A recent video on the Trump channel had provoked violence, YouTube told CNN Business. That video has now been removed.
YouTube declined to share information about the video Trump won the strike, but said that, after the week-long period, he will return to the decision. YouTube also removed content from the White House channel for violating policy, the company told CNN Business.
So far, YouTube has been the only social media platform left untouched by Trump in some fashion. Facebook has suspended Trump’s account “forever,” while Twitter has banned Trump altogether.
“After a careful review, and despite concerns about the continuing potential for violence, we removed new content uploaded to the Donald J. Trump channel and went on strike for breaking it. our policies for inciting violence, “a YouTube spokesperson said in a statement.” As a result, according to our long-term strikes system, the channel is now banned from videos upload new streams or live streams for at least seven days – which may be extended. “
YouTube also said it will take the extra step of deleting comments below videos on Trump’s channel.
Under YouTube ‘s policies, winning a second strike will result in a two – week ban and a permanent ban on three strikes.
