It is now YouTube's turn to suspend Donald Trump's account. The platform justifies its decision by the 'permanent risk of violence' that the current president of the United States can cause; the sanction will last for at least a week.
We can say that Google's platform will have
taken its time compared to its sisters. On January 7, the day after the
Capitol invasion by pro-Trump demonstrators, Mark Zuckerberg publicly
announced the suspension of Donald Trump's Facebook and Instagram
accounts, for an indefinite period. Two days later, Twitter permanently
suspended the account of the President of the United States.

YouTube suspends Donald Trump's account
The video platform
announced this morning its decision to temporarily suspend Donald
Trump's account. As she explains on Twitter, 'after careful
consideration, and in light of concerns about the potential for ongoing
violence, we have removed new content uploaded to the Donald J. Trump
Channel.'
Donald Trump and his teams will no longer be able to
upload new videos, for at least seven days. Finally, comments are
disabled under all videos in the channel, 'as we have done for other
channels, where there are security issues in the comments section,'
explains YouTube.
