YouTube Chief Executive Officer Susan Wojcicki said Donald Trump’s channel will remain temporarily suspended due to the risk that he will use the online video service to incite more violence.
“Given just the warnings given by the capitol police yesterday about a potential attack today, I think it’s pretty clear that elevated violence risk still remains,” Wojcicki said during an interview at an event organized by the Atlantic Council.
