| YouTube extends Trump's ban by a week |
After the previous temporary ban ended, the YouTube platform extended the ban on President Donald Trump's channel for a week, and the Google-backed platform confirmed the extension, indicating that the violence may continue.
Donald Trump's YouTube account has around 2.79 million subscribers and the station sends several videos from the correct media station daily before commenting.
The company continues to block comments from appearing on videos posted on its channel.
The temporary suspension means that the Trump account and current videos are still available. However, it will take at least seven days before he can upload new content.
The platform banned Trump from uploading new content on January 12 after removing a video calling for hooligans in Congress.
At the time, he also expressed concern about the possibility of more violence, thus providing the broadcaster with an alarm equivalent to uploading new content for at least a week.
In early January, after some Trump supporters raped the U.S. Capitol, YouTube officially warned the White House that it was using the world's largest video platform.
A company usually has three warning rules. The first violation leads to the temporary suspension of the account.
The expansion comes before Inauguration Day when the United States transfers power to the next president, Joe Biden.
Law enforcement agencies and social media companies across the country are bracing for further potential organized violence.
After Trump's account and the White House uploaded a video during the January 6 attack, YouTube carried Trump's first comment and showed he was repeating false statements about the stolen election.
The YouTube platform said: This is against the policy of prohibiting incitement to violence.
In a new video, titled "President Donald Trump's Farewell Speech," released Tuesday afternoon, Trump appears to have overcome the download ban by posting the video to the White House YouTube channel, which has fewer subscribers, but is still active.
In the past, companies used methods that were more convenient than their competitors to review content.
When YouTube implemented Trump's first comment, Twitter and Facebook blocked Trump indefinitely.
