Trump cannot upload new videos (or livestream) to his YouTube account for at least 7 days. Meaning the remaining time he is POTUS.
YouTube has taken down a newly posted video from Trump for violating its policies against inciting violence. (YouTube did not identify the offending video.)
After Twitter, Facebook and Instagram have all permanently banned Trump from their platforms Youtube has been under pressure to crack down as well.
YouTube said in a statement to Axios,
“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.
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 is also suspending comments throughout Trump’s channel, citing the risk of violence. It has limited comments on other accounts in the past, but typically for child safety issues.
The archive of videos on Trump’s YouTube channel, much with false and inciting information, still remains up. But he can’t post until after he leaves office, one way or the other.
