Snapchat blocked President Donald Trump’s account after chaos erupted on Capitol Hill. The President has been banned on other social media sites for provoking violence. His account will be locked until Snapchat decides to lift it.
“We can confirm that earlier today we locked President Trump’s Snapchat account,” Rachel Racusen, Snapchat spokesperson.
The social media company said they banned President Trump’s account before he posted a video on the site, saying that it “contributed to rather than diminished the risk of ongoing violence.”
“We simply cannot promote accounts in America that are linked to people who incite racial violence, whether they do so on or off our platform,” Evan Spiegel, Snapchat CEO, said.
