YouTube Ban on Trump Channel Will Lift When ‘Risk of Violence’ Decreases, CEO Says

YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki said Thursday that the ban on former President Donald Trump will be lifted when the “risk of violence” is deemed by the company to have decreased.

YouTube, alongside many other social media sites, suspended Trump’s account following unrest at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, which Trump was accused by congressional Democrats and some Republicans of inciting. According to Wojcicki, the suspension will not be permanent because of the platform’s “three strikes” rule.

Speaking during an interview with the Atlantic Council, a Washington-based think tank focusing on foreign policy, Wojcicki said that YouTube is reviewing Trump the same as any other user, meaning that he will not be permanently banned unless he violates the terms of services three times in 90 days.

In the case of Trump, Wojcicki said the former president has generated only one strike for violating YouTube’s policies about inciting violence, which came with a punishment of not being able to upload new videos or livestream for seven days. Those restrictions were prolonged, however, because there allegedly remains an “elevated risk” of the channel spreading what she called “violent rhetoric.”

“We will lift the suspension of the Donald Trump channel when we determine that the risk of violence has decreased,” Wojcicki said, adding that the risk is partly measured by the security level in the nation’s capital.

“We will turn the account back on, but it will be when we see the reduced enforcement in Capitols in the U.S.,” she said. “It’s pretty clear that, where we stand, there is still that elevated risk of violence.”

Wojcicki’s comments come days after Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN) said it was suspended by YouTube for two weeks because it broadcast Trump’s speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

According to RSBN, YouTube said that the video violated its “guidelines on election misinformation.” In his first speech since leaving the White House before the CPAC crowd, Trump briefly hinted that his re-election was stolen, saying, “I may even decide to beat them for a third time.”

In a similar move, YouTube suspended the channel of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani for a second time, citing violation of the platform’s policies on nicotine use and election integrity.

“We removed content from the Rudy W. Giuliani channel for violating our sale of regulated goods policy, which prohibits content facilitating the use of nicotine, and our presidential election integrity policy,” a YouTube spokesperson said in a statement.

The soapbox has been deplatformed.
The ballot box has been corrupted.
The jury box has been nullified.

There is ONE box remaining between U.S. and the red flag.

These people are just full of intellectual violence.

[rarestia]

Don’t worry, that one will be welded shut shortly.

Censorship and burned books... Hey YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, et. al. You've sure picked some good company to be in:

The German army burned books in WW I.

The Bulgarian army also burned books in WW I - as part of a genocide campaign.

In between WW I and WW II Weimar's Germany destroyed even comic strips... (sound familiar muslims?)

In the 1920s Soviet Russia destroyed dissidents' autobiographies.

The National Socialist German Workers' Party (aka Nazi party) destroyed numerous works by Jewish authors.

Ioannis Metaxas, who held dictatorial power in Greece between 1936 and 1941 burned books, including works by Goethe and Freud.

In 1939 Franco's troops burned an entire Spanish library.

During WW II Japanese troops destroyed numerous Chinese libraries.

The Iranian army has burned basically every Kurdish work they come across.

Stalin picked up where the Nazis left off - burning numerous Jewish works.

During a military coup in Brazil the General (aka new dictator) ordered "subversive works" destroyed.

During the Chinese "cultural revolution" the communists burned numerous works.

Religious conservatives in the southern US (you know, the very demographic the elites in charge of YouTube, Twitter, etc. make fun of) burned and destroyed works by the Beatles.

Augusto Pinochet's (another really fun guy...not!) forces, during the Chilean coup, burned subversive books.

Following the fall of Saigon, the Viet Cong burned books. We all know what a great bunch of guys they were...

The Egyptian ministry of culture ordered the burning of homoerotic literature. Huh, how about that Facebook, you're in the same boat as rabid anti-LGBQT guys. LOL

ISIS apparently destroyed the entire Mosul library.

"They're not going to stop," she said.

"This is a movement, I'm telling you, they're not going to stop, and everyone beware because they're not going to stop before Election Day in November, and they're not going to stop after Election Day.

And everyone should take note of that, on both levels, that they're not going to let up, and they should not, and we should not.”

"...a longer version of the exchange posted by the 'Late Show' shows Harris saying that the protests continuing is "critically important" to achieve change.
