Snapchat, the image-centric social network said it has permanently banned United States US President Donald Trump from the platform following the Capitol hill attack.

According to media reports, the ban came after operators fear that Trump could use his Snapchat account to foment more unrest in the run-up to President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration.

Snapchat said “In the interest of public safety, and based on his attempts to spread misinformation, hate speech, and incite violence, which are clear violations of our guidelines, we have made the decision to permanently terminate his account.”
