YouTube Suspends Donald Trump's Channel for Incitement of Violence
On January 12, 2021, YouTube suspended Donald Trump's channel for violating its policies against incitement of violence, following the January 6 Capitol attack. The channel was barred from uploading new content or livestreaming for a minimum of seven days, a suspension that was later extended indefinitely. YouTube cited Trump's video addressing the Capitol riot — in which he repeated false election fraud claims — as the triggering violation.
