YouTube has indefinitely suspended Donald Trump from its platform and also barred his lawyer Rudy Giuliani from being able to monetize his content.
The Google-owned social media behemoth imposed a temporary ban on Trump s channel two weeks ago, depriving his 3 million subscribers of content in light of the ongoing potential for violence.
It joined a raft of Silicon Valley heavyweights in censoring Trump for the Capitol riot over allegations that he fomented the deadly insurrection .
YouTube said said separately that Trump s lawyer Rudy Giuliani had also been taken off its Partner Program - which allows creators to make money off their videos.
Google will stop selling political ads referencing U.S. elections across its services until at least Jan. 21, following last week s violence at the Capitol, according to an email to advertisers.
