YouTube has suspended Donald Trump indefinitely from the platform and saidit will also prevent the former president’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani from beingable to monetise his clips, United States media reported.

It comes a week after the social media giant confirmed it would extend a banon Trump’s channellink—which has just under three million subscribers — joining other social mediaplatforms in banning his accounts following the deadly January 6 Capitolriot.

The Google-owned firm has faced some criticism over its slow responsefollowing the violence in Washington, as well as the proliferation ofconspiracy theories on the platform.

“In light of concerns about the ongoing potential for violence, the DonaldJ Trump channel will remain suspended,” a YouTube spokesperson told*Politico*.

The company said separately that Giuliani’s account would be barred fromthe Partner Program — which allows creators to make money off their videos— after repeatedly violating its policy against posting misleadinginformation about the US election.

The 76-year-old has posted videos titled “The Biden Crime Family’s PayoffScheme” and “Election Theft of the Century” to his channel, which hasaround 600,000 subscribers.

The ban on making money off his clips comes as the former New York mayorfaces a $1.3 billion lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems after alleging onsocial media that the firm had engaged in election fraud.

According to YouTube, Giuliani will be able to appeal the decision in 30days — providing the underlying issues have been fixed.
