Snapchat permanently bans US President Donald Trump’s account over his role in inciting the Capitol Hill violence. This development comes a week after Twitter, Facebook and Instagram imposed bans on Trump’s personal account on their respective platforms.

CNN quoted a Snapchat spokesperson as saying, “Last week we announced an indefinite suspension of President Trump’s Snapchat account, and have been assessing what long term action is in the best interest of our Snapchat community.”

The platform said it made the decision after the President’s account repeatedly violated the company’s community guidelines over the past several months.

“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,” the spokesperson added.

On January 7, Facebook announced its decision to suspend Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts indefinitely.

On January 12, video-sharing app YouTube said it was barring new content from being posted on President Donald Trump’s channel for at least a week over a violation of its policies.

Twitter had also banned personal account of Trump from its platform completely.
