Which social media platforms have banned Trump and why? An overview

Former President Donald Trump has been blocked from five of the top social media platforms over the years, and all except one have returned his accounts as he runs for re-election in 2024.

During his presidency, Trump saw his Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube accounts all suspended in 2021 following the Jan. 6 Capitol riots.

"Since President Trump first ran for office, liberals in big tech have allowed terrorists and dictators to spout hate speech on their platforms while banning President Trump in a shameless attempt to help Democrats win elections," RNC Spokesperson Anna Kelly told Fox News Digital in a statement. "It won’t work – President Trump’s message is resonating with voters across the country, which is why he had the most successful TikTok launch in history, and he will continue to speak directly to the American people about his agenda to Make America Great Again."

Trump's Snapchat account was suspended in 2021 after the outlet claimed he was responsible for "multiple policy violations." It has not been restored since.

Asked why the profile could not be restored several years later, a spokesperson for Snapchat told Trump's team their terms of service prevented them from reinstating his account.

Trump War Room, an account working on behalf of the former president's 2024 re-election campaign, blasted Snapchat in a post on X.

"Snapchat REFUSES to reinstate President Trump’s account — but then shamelessly asks the Trump campaign to advertise with Snapchat Big Tech is all in for Kamala!" Trump War Room wrote, alongside a screenshot of their communication with Snapchat.
