| Boilerpipe Text | Remember when
Donald Trump
was permanently
banned from Twitter
and âindefinitelyâ
suspended from Facebook
following the
attack of the Capitol
on January 6? Well, a variety of other platforms followed suit, either by banning Trump completely or using other methods to stop extremist Trump supporters from planning further riots or spreading misinformation about voter fraud.Â
Hereâs a list of social media and tech companies that took action against Donald Trump.
On January 9, Amazon
removed
Parler, the social media app described as
âTwitter without rules,â
from its cloud hosting service, Amazon Web Services. Parler is used by many vocal extremists and conspiracy theoristsâreportedly including
at least one of the Trump supporters who died
during the Capitol riot. This meant Parler would go offline by the evening of January 10 unless they found another hosting service.
âRecently, weâve seen a steady increase in this violent content on your website, all of which violates our terms,â the AWS Trust and Safety team emailed Parler chief policy officer Amy Peikoff,
per Buzzfeed News
. âItâs clear that Parler does not have an effective process to comply with the AWS terms of service.â
This came after Google and Apple removed Parler from their respective app stores.
In a text to
The New York Times
, Parler CEO John Matze wrote, âBig tech really wants to kill competition and I have a lot of work to do in the next 24 hours to make sure everyoneâs data is not permanently deleted off the internet.â
On Friday, January 7, Apple
threatened to remove Parler
from its app store, giving the platform 24 hours to submit a plan for âmoderation improvement.â By the evening of January 9, the app was officially pulled.Â
âWe have always supported diverse points of view being represented on the App Store, but there is no place on our platform for threats of violence and illegal activity,â an Apple representative said in a statement,
per CNBC
. âParler has not taken adequate measures to address the proliferation of these threats to peopleâs safety. We have suspended Parler from the App Store until they resolve these issues.â
Discord
On January 8, Discord, an instant messaging and chatroom app
popular with teens
, banned a server called TheDonald.win, according to
Mother Jones
reporter Ali Breland. âWhile there is no evidence of the server being used to organize the Jan 6 riots, Discord decided to ban the entire server today due to its overt connection to an online forum used to incite violence and plan an armed insurrection in the United States,â a Discord rep said in a statement to Breland.Â
According to
Mother Jones
, TheDonald.win is a copy of a toxic message board called r/The_Donald, which was banned on Reddit back in June.Â
Facebook locked the presidentâs account on January 6, starting with a 24-hour window. By January 7, Mark Zuckerberg explained the decision as well as extended the block on Trump's accounts âindefinitely and for at least the next two weeks until the peaceful transition of power is complete.â
On June 4, it was announced that the suspension will last for two years, starting from the initial ban on Jan. 7. âGiven the gravity of the circumstances that led to Mr. Trumpâs suspension, we believe his actions constituted a severe violation of our rules which merit the highest penalty available under the new enforcement protocols,â Nick Clegg, vice president of global affairs for Facebook, said in a
statement
.
According to Facebook, Trumpâs suspension will not automatically be lifted once the two-year period comes to a close. The company claims they will âlook to experts to assess whether the risk to public safety has receded.â
Trump was not happy about this. âFacebookâs ruling is an insult to the record-setting 75M people, plus many others, who voted for us in the 2020 Rigged Presidential Election,â Trump said in the statement,
per ABC News
. âThey shouldnât be allowed to get away with this censoring and silencing, and ultimately, we will win. Our Country canât take this abuse anymore!â
Unlike Apple, Google didnât wait to ban Parler from the Google Play store. âWe»re aware of continued posting in the Parler app that seeks to incite ongoing violence in the U.S.,â a Google spokesperson said,
per CNN
. âWe recognize that there can be reasonable debate about content policies and that it can be difficult for apps to immediately remove all violative content, but for us to distribute an app through Google Play, we do require that apps implement robust moderation for egregious content. In light of this ongoing and urgent public safety threat, we are suspending the appâs listings from the Play Store until it addresses these issues.â
Most Popular
Instagram, which is owned by Facebook, also banned Trump from posting, per head of Instagram Adam Mosseri.
Pinterest
Though Trump does not have a Pinterest account, the image-sharing app has reportedly been limiting pro-Trump-related topics
since around November 2020
. For example, if you search StoptheSteal, you will see the following message: âPins about this topic often violate our
community guidelines
, so weâre currently unable to show search results.â
âPinterest isnât a place for threats, promotion of violence or hateful content,â a Pinterest spokesperson said,
according to Axios
. âOur team is continuing to monitor and remove harmful content, including misinformation and conspiracy theories that may incite violence.â
As of January 8, Reddit banned the subreddit group r/DonaldTrump,
according to Axios
. âRedditâs
sitewide policies
prohibit content that promotes hate, or encourages, glorifies, incites, or calls for violence against groups of people or individuals. In accordance with this, we have been proactively reaching out to moderators to remind them of our policies and to offer support or resources as needed,â a spokesperson said. âWe have also taken action to ban the community r/donaldtrump given repeated policy violations in recent days regarding the violence at the U.S. Capitol.â
Per
Variety
, the forum had about 52,000 members before it was shut down.
Shopify
In perhaps the boldest move of all, Shopify removed Trumpâs official campaign merchandise from its platform by disabling his online stores, trumpstore.com and shop.donaldjtrump.com. âBased on recent events, we have determined that the actions by President Donald J. Trump violate our Acceptable Use Policy, which prohibits promotion or support of organizations, platforms or people that threaten or condone violence to further a cause,â said Shopify on January 7,
per CBS News
.Â
Trump was suspended from Snapchat amid the riots on January 6, a spokesperson
confirmed to The Hill
.
Most Popular
Snapchat previously stopped promoting Trumpâs account on its Discover page in June 2020. âWe are not currently promoting the presidentâs content on Snapchatâs Discover platform,â a Snap spokesperson
told Business Insider
at the time. âWe will not amplify voices who incite racial violence and injustice by giving them free promotion on Discover. Racial violence and injustice have no place in our society and we stand together with all who seek peace, love, equality, and justice in America.â
Oh, how the tables have turned. Remember when
Trump tried to ban TikTok
? Well, even though Trump does not have an account of his own, the video platform still found a way to limit his reach. On January 7, TikTok
confirmed
it would be removing videos of Trumpâs speeches believed to have incited violence at the Capitol. Furthermore, it is redirecting hashtags used by rioters like #stormthecapitol and #patriotparty to its community guidelines.Â
However, the company has not specified that it would ban Trump should he try to join the platform.
Of course, this is unlikely given his previous stance and the fact that he
joined its competitor
Triller back in August.
Twitch
On January 7, Twitch, the Amazon-owned live-streaming video platform made popular by gamers, disabled Trumpâs account indefinitely. âIn light of yesterdayâs shocking attack on the Capitol, we have disabled President Trumpâs Twitch channel,â a spokesperson
told TechCrunch
. âGiven the current extraordinary circumstances and the presidentâs incendiary rhetoric, we believe this is a necessary step to protect our community and prevent Twitch from being used to incite further violence.â
CNN did note
that Trump had a âsignificantlyâ smaller following on Twitch than Twitter or Facebook.Â
On January 8, Trumpâs Twitter account @realDonaldTrump was
suspended indefinitely
. He then attempted to tweet from the @POTUS account, but Twitter quickly deleted his messages and suspended the @TrumpTeam account as well.
Most Popular
âAs weâve said, using another account to try to evade a suspension is against our rules,â a spokesperson for Twitter
told
People
in a statement. âWe have taken steps to enforce this with regard to recent Tweets from the @POTUS account. For government accounts, such as @POTUS and @WhiteHouse, we will not suspend those accounts permanently but will take action to limit their use.â
On January 7, YouTube revealed a multistep plan to stop the dangerous spread of misinformation. âDue to the disturbing events that transpired yesterday, and given that the election results have now been certified, starting today any channels posting new videos with false claims in violation of our policies will now receive a strike,â the company tweeted.
Most Popular
Though channels previously received a warning before they were suspended for violating YouTube's guidelines, they will now be suspended immediately. If they receive three strikes within a 90-day period, the channel will be permanently removed.
YouTube also claimed it has removed âthousandsâ of videos falsely claiming widespread voter fraud, including âseveral videos President Trump posted to his channel.â
This page will be updated if/when there are more developments about Trumpâs social media presence.

# Every Social Media Platform Donald Trump Is Banned From Using (So Far)

It's not just Twitter and Facebook.

Remember when [Donald Trump](https://www.glamour.com/about/donald-trump) was permanently [banned from Twitter](https://www.glamour.com/story/donald-trump-twitter-account-has-been-permanently-suspended) and âindefinitelyâ [suspended from Facebook](https://www.glamour.com/story/twitter-facebook-and-instagram-lock-president-donald-trumps-accounts) following the [attack of the Capitol](https://www.glamour.com/story/were-still-on-edge-3-reporters-on-witnessing-the-riot-at-the-capitol) on January 6?

Of course, this is unlikely given his previous stance and the fact that he [joined its competitor](https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/15/21370376/president-trump-tiktok-triller-ban-bytedance) Triller back in August.
Twitch
On January 7, Twitch, the Amazon-owned live-streaming video platform made popular by gamers, disabled Trumpâs account indefinitely. âIn light of yesterdayâs shocking attack on the Capitol, we have disabled President Trumpâs Twitch channel,â a spokesperson [told TechCrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2021/01/07/twitch-disables-trumps-channel-over-incendiary-rhetoric/). âGiven the current extraordinary circumstances and the presidentâs incendiary rhetoric, we believe this is a necessary step to protect our community and prevent Twitch from being used to incite further violence.â
[CNN did note](https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/washington-dc-election-riots/h_b4e100766359c29040ecd4f3ecf4192c?utm_content=2021-01-07T20%3A37%3A04&utm_term=link&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twCNN) that Trump had a âsignificantlyâ smaller following on Twitch than Twitter or Facebook.
[Twitter](https://www.glamour.com/story/tiffany-trump-dragged-for-posting-happy-birthday-message-to-her-brother-during-capitol-riot)
On January 8, Trumpâs Twitter account @realDonaldTrump was [suspended indefinitely](https://www.glamour.com/story/donald-trump-twitter-account-has-been-permanently-suspended). He then attempted to tweet from the @POTUS account, but Twitter quickly deleted his messages and suspended the @TrumpTeam account as well.

âAs weâve said, using another account to try to evade a suspension is against our rules,â a spokesperson for Twitter [told *People*](https://people.com/politics/trump-tweets-from-potus-account-amid-permanent-suspension-twitter-quickly-deletes-messages/) in a statement. âWe have taken steps to enforce this with regard to recent Tweets from the @POTUS account. For government accounts, such as @POTUS and @WhiteHouse, we will not suspend those accounts permanently but will take action to limit their use.â
[YouTube](https://www.glamour.com/story/best-youtube-workouts)
On January 7, YouTube revealed a multistep plan to stop the dangerous spread of misinformation. âDue to the disturbing events that transpired yesterday, and given that the election results have now been certified, starting today any channels posting new videos with false claims in violation of our policies will now receive a strike,â the company tweeted.

Though channels previously received a warning before they were suspended for violating YouTube's guidelines, they will now be suspended immediately. If they receive three strikes within a 90-day period, the channel will be permanently removed.
YouTube also claimed it has removed âthousandsâ of videos falsely claiming widespread voter fraud, including âseveral videos President Trump posted to his channel.â

| Readable Markdown | Remember when [Donald Trump](https://www.glamour.com/about/donald-trump) was permanently [banned from Twitter](https://www.glamour.com/story/donald-trump-twitter-account-has-been-permanently-suspended) and âindefinitelyâ [suspended from Facebook](https://www.glamour.com/story/twitter-facebook-and-instagram-lock-president-donald-trumps-accounts) following the [attack of the Capitol](https://www.glamour.com/story/were-still-on-edge-3-reporters-on-witnessing-the-riot-at-the-capitol) on January 6? Well, a variety of other platforms followed suit, either by banning Trump completely or using other methods to stop extremist Trump supporters from planning further riots or spreading misinformation about voter fraud.
Hereâs a list of social media and tech companies that took action against Donald Trump.
On January 9, Amazon [removed](https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/johnpaczkowski/amazon-parler-aws) Parler, the social media app described as [âTwitter without rules,â](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/08/technology/parler-apple-google.html) from its cloud hosting service, Amazon Web Services. Parler is used by many vocal extremists and conspiracy theoristsâreportedly including [at least one of the Trump supporters who died](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump-supporters-who-died-during-capitol-riot-left-online-presence-n1253400) during the Capitol riot. This meant Parler would go offline by the evening of January 10 unless they found another hosting service.
âRecently, weâve seen a steady increase in this violent content on your website, all of which violates our terms,â the AWS Trust and Safety team emailed Parler chief policy officer Amy Peikoff, [per Buzzfeed News](https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/johnpaczkowski/amazon-parler-aws). âItâs clear that Parler does not have an effective process to comply with the AWS terms of service.â
This came after Google and Apple removed Parler from their respective app stores. [In a text to *The New York Times*](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/09/technology/apple-google-parler.html), Parler CEO John Matze wrote, âBig tech really wants to kill competition and I have a lot of work to do in the next 24 hours to make sure everyoneâs data is not permanently deleted off the internet.â
On Friday, January 7, Apple [threatened to remove Parler](https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanmac/apple-threatens-ban-parler) from its app store, giving the platform 24 hours to submit a plan for âmoderation improvement.â By the evening of January 9, the app was officially pulled.
âWe have always supported diverse points of view being represented on the App Store, but there is no place on our platform for threats of violence and illegal activity,â an Apple representative said in a statement, [per CNBC](https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/09/apple-removes-parler-from-app-store-in-wake-of-us-capitol-riot.html). âParler has not taken adequate measures to address the proliferation of these threats to peopleâs safety. We have suspended Parler from the App Store until they resolve these issues.â
Discord
On January 8, Discord, an instant messaging and chatroom app [popular with teens](https://www.wsj.com/articles/discord-where-teens-rule-and-parents-fear-to-tread-11560245402), banned a server called TheDonald.win, according to *Mother Jones* reporter Ali Breland. âWhile there is no evidence of the server being used to organize the Jan 6 riots, Discord decided to ban the entire server today due to its overt connection to an online forum used to incite violence and plan an armed insurrection in the United States,â a Discord rep said in a statement to Breland.
[According to *Mother Jones*](https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/10/the_donald_reddit_discord/), TheDonald.win is a copy of a toxic message board called r/The\_Donald, which was banned on Reddit back in June.
Facebook locked the presidentâs account on January 6, starting with a 24-hour window. By January 7, Mark Zuckerberg explained the decision as well as extended the block on Trump's accounts âindefinitely and for at least the next two weeks until the peaceful transition of power is complete.â
On June 4, it was announced that the suspension will last for two years, starting from the initial ban on Jan. 7. âGiven the gravity of the circumstances that led to Mr. Trumpâs suspension, we believe his actions constituted a severe violation of our rules which merit the highest penalty available under the new enforcement protocols,â Nick Clegg, vice president of global affairs for Facebook, said in a [statement](https://about.fb.com/news/2021/06/facebook-response-to-oversight-board-recommendations-trump/).
According to Facebook, Trumpâs suspension will not automatically be lifted once the two-year period comes to a close. The company claims they will âlook to experts to assess whether the risk to public safety has receded.â
Trump was not happy about this. âFacebookâs ruling is an insult to the record-setting 75M people, plus many others, who voted for us in the 2020 Rigged Presidential Election,â Trump said in the statement, [per ABC News](https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/facebook-suspension-trump-years/story?id=78088506). âThey shouldnât be allowed to get away with this censoring and silencing, and ultimately, we will win. Our Country canât take this abuse anymore!â
Unlike Apple, Google didnât wait to ban Parler from the Google Play store. âWe»re aware of continued posting in the Parler app that seeks to incite ongoing violence in the U.S.,â a Google spokesperson said, [per CNN](https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/08/tech/parler-google-play-removed/index.html). âWe recognize that there can be reasonable debate about content policies and that it can be difficult for apps to immediately remove all violative content, but for us to distribute an app through Google Play, we do require that apps implement robust moderation for egregious content. In light of this ongoing and urgent public safety threat, we are suspending the appâs listings from the Play Store until it addresses these issues.â
Most Popular
Instagram, which is owned by Facebook, also banned Trump from posting, per head of Instagram Adam Mosseri.
Pinterest
Though Trump does not have a Pinterest account, the image-sharing app has reportedly been limiting pro-Trump-related topics [since around November 2020](https://www.axios.com/platforms-social-media-ban-restrict-trump-d9e44f3c-8366-4ba9-a8a1-7f3114f920f1.html). For example, if you search StoptheSteal, you will see the following message: âPins about this topic often violate our [community guidelines](https://www.pinterest.com/_/_/policy/community-guidelines), so weâre currently unable to show search results.â
âPinterest isnât a place for threats, promotion of violence or hateful content,â a Pinterest spokesperson said, [according to Axios](https://www.axios.com/platforms-social-media-ban-restrict-trump-d9e44f3c-8366-4ba9-a8a1-7f3114f920f1.html). âOur team is continuing to monitor and remove harmful content, including misinformation and conspiracy theories that may incite violence.â
As of January 8, Reddit banned the subreddit group r/DonaldTrump, [according to Axios](https://www.axios.com/reddit-bans-rdonaldtrump-subreddit-ff1da2de-37ab-49cf-afbd-2012f806959e.html). âRedditâs [sitewide policies](https://www.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043513151) prohibit content that promotes hate, or encourages, glorifies, incites, or calls for violence against groups of people or individuals. In accordance with this, we have been proactively reaching out to moderators to remind them of our policies and to offer support or resources as needed,â a spokesperson said. âWe have also taken action to ban the community r/donaldtrump given repeated policy violations in recent days regarding the violence at the U.S. Capitol.â
[Per *Variety*](https://variety.com/2021/digital/news/reddit-bans-donaldtrump-subreddit-inciting-violence-us-capitol-1234881463/), the forum had about 52,000 members before it was shut down.
Shopify
In perhaps the boldest move of all, Shopify removed Trumpâs official campaign merchandise from its platform by disabling his online stores, trumpstore.com and shop.donaldjtrump.com. âBased on recent events, we have determined that the actions by President Donald J. Trump violate our Acceptable Use Policy, which prohibits promotion or support of organizations, platforms or people that threaten or condone violence to further a cause,â said Shopify on January 7, [per CBS News](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/shopify-trump-store-campaign-ecommerce-violence-prohibitions/).
Trump was suspended from Snapchat amid the riots on January 6, a spokesperson [confirmed to The Hill](https://thehill.com/policy/technology/533204-trump-suspended-indefinitely-from-snapchat).
Most Popular
Snapchat previously stopped promoting Trumpâs account on its Discover page in June 2020. âWe are not currently promoting the presidentâs content on Snapchatâs Discover platform,â a Snap spokesperson [told Business Insider](https://www.businessinsider.com/snapchat-stops-promoting-trump-account-discover-racial-violence-concerns-2020-6) at the time. âWe will not amplify voices who incite racial violence and injustice by giving them free promotion on Discover. Racial violence and injustice have no place in our society and we stand together with all who seek peace, love, equality, and justice in America.â
Oh, how the tables have turned. Remember when [Trump tried to ban TikTok](https://www.glamour.com/story/donald-trump-banning-tiktok-reactions)? Well, even though Trump does not have an account of his own, the video platform still found a way to limit his reach. On January 7, TikTok [confirmed](https://techcrunch.com/2021/01/07/tiktok-bans-videos-of-trump-inciting-mob-blocks-stormthecapital-and-other-hashtags/) it would be removing videos of Trumpâs speeches believed to have incited violence at the Capitol. Furthermore, it is redirecting hashtags used by rioters like \#stormthecapitol and \#patriotparty to its community guidelines.
However, the company has not specified that it would ban Trump should he try to join the platform.
Of course, this is unlikely given his previous stance and the fact that he [joined its competitor](https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/15/21370376/president-trump-tiktok-triller-ban-bytedance) Triller back in August.
Twitch
On January 7, Twitch, the Amazon-owned live-streaming video platform made popular by gamers, disabled Trumpâs account indefinitely. âIn light of yesterdayâs shocking attack on the Capitol, we have disabled President Trumpâs Twitch channel,â a spokesperson [told TechCrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2021/01/07/twitch-disables-trumps-channel-over-incendiary-rhetoric/). âGiven the current extraordinary circumstances and the presidentâs incendiary rhetoric, we believe this is a necessary step to protect our community and prevent Twitch from being used to incite further violence.â
[CNN did note](https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/washington-dc-election-riots/h_b4e100766359c29040ecd4f3ecf4192c?utm_content=2021-01-07T20%3A37%3A04&utm_term=link&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twCNN) that Trump had a âsignificantlyâ smaller following on Twitch than Twitter or Facebook.
On January 8, Trumpâs Twitter account @realDonaldTrump was [suspended indefinitely](https://www.glamour.com/story/donald-trump-twitter-account-has-been-permanently-suspended). He then attempted to tweet from the @POTUS account, but Twitter quickly deleted his messages and suspended the @TrumpTeam account as well.

âAs weâve said, using another account to try to evade a suspension is against our rules,â a spokesperson for Twitter [told *People*](https://people.com/politics/trump-tweets-from-potus-account-amid-permanent-suspension-twitter-quickly-deletes-messages/) in a statement. âWe have taken steps to enforce this with regard to recent Tweets from the @POTUS account. For government accounts, such as @POTUS and @WhiteHouse, we will not suspend those accounts permanently but will take action to limit their use.â
On January 7, YouTube revealed a multistep plan to stop the dangerous spread of misinformation. âDue to the disturbing events that transpired yesterday, and given that the election results have now been certified, starting today any channels posting new videos with false claims in violation of our policies will now receive a strike,â the company tweeted.

Though channels previously received a warning before they were suspended for violating YouTube's guidelines, they will now be suspended immediately. If they receive three strikes within a 90-day period, the channel will be permanently removed.
YouTube also claimed it has removed âthousandsâ of videos falsely claiming widespread voter fraud, including âseveral videos President Trump posted to his channel.â
