Now SnapChat Permanently Bans Trump, & YouTube Suspends Him From Uploading
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and now SnapChat and YouTube. At this point, what social media outlets have not censored the most powerful man in the world? Not many left.
And if they can silence the president, what makes you think you aren’t next (if you aren’t already a victim)?
The fact that the incoming administration has yet to say anything about censorship tells us exactly where we’re headed. And it ain’t good.
From Fox News:
Following an indefinite suspension of President Trump’s account last week, Snapchat announced Wednesday that its decision is permanent.
“In the interest of public safety, and based on his attempts to spread misinformation, hate speech, and incite violence, which are clear violations of our guidelines, we have made the decision to permanently terminate his account,” a Snapchat spokesperson told FOX News.
The social media platform said it had assessed “what long term action is in the best interest of our Snapchat community” following the riot at the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters on Jan. 6.

1/ After review, and in light of concerns about the ongoing potential for violence, we removed new content uploaded to Donald J. Trump’s channel for violating our policies. It now has its 1st strike & is temporarily prevented from uploading new content for a *minimum* of 7 days.

2/ 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. https://t.co/1aBENHGU5z
