YouTube said on Tuesday evening that it will take a stand against President Donald Trump by suspending his YouTube channel. The suspension will last at least a week after the company citing violation of its policies by the Republican.
YouTube feared that Trump might use the platform to upload content of additional violence in the wake of the insurrection at the Capitol. The google-owned video-sharing service announced in a tweet that the action would count as an initial strike against Trump’s account.
They said this could also lead to Donald Trump being banned for good if he violates the policies twice more.
‘’After review, and in light of concerns about the ongoing potential violence, we removed new content uploaded to Donald J. Trump’s channel for violating our policies.
It now has its 1st strike and is temporarily prevented from uploading new content for a minimum of 7 days,’’ YouTube’s press arm tweeted on Tuesday.
The company also said it would be indefinitely disabling comments on Trump’s account, again citing ‘’ongoing concerns about violence’’ surrounding his online postings. However, the company did not specify what content violated its policies.
This move, on the other hand, comes after pressure from Democratic lawmakers and other activists to crack down on Trump’s posts. In addition to that, YouTube’s rivals, Twitter, and Facebook also took more aggressive measures to limit the president’s accounts on those platforms.
Trump earlier on Tuesday reacted to tech companies that suspended and restricted his accounts. He said in his first remarks to reporters since the riot that these companies had done a ‘’horrible thing for our country and to our country.’’

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
