According to Snap Inc., Trump’s public comments have the potential to incite violence.
A growing chorus of social media companies appear to be taking a stand against President Trump’s accounts, with Snap Inc.’s decision to boot the POTUS from Snapchat’s Discover section on Wednesday being the latest.
Notably, Snap isn’t removing his account. But the decision to keep him off Discover effectively lowers the president’s profile. Discover typically serves up news, stories and shares by high-profile people, from celebrities, musicians and athletes to government officials. Evan Spiegel, Snap’s cofounder and ceo, effectively warned employees that it was evaluating such issues in a memo posted to its blog earlier this week.
