The move, which suspends the president's account for a week, comes after the video platform said a livestream of his remarks on Tuesday violated YouTube's community standards.

Twitter has suspended more than 70,000 accounts spreading the QAnon conspiracy theory since Friday. Facebook is removing content with the phrase "stop the steal."

Twitter has permanently blocked the @realDonaldTrump account after Trump posted a message that violated the company's rules.

In a new video, President Trump for the first time acknowledged that he lost the presidential election and condemned some of his supporters for storming the Capitol.

Twitter permanently suspended an account from former Trump adviser Steve Bannon after he suggested Dr. Anthony Fauci and FBI Director Christopher Wray should be beheaded.

The chief executives of Facebook, Twitter and Google face skepticism from a Senate committee over their decisions about what content to allow and what to take down from their platforms.

Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, Twitter's Jack Dorsey and Google's Sundar Pichai go before the Senate Commerce Committee to defend Section 230, a law that protects them from lawsuits over users' posts.

The president, who is being treated for COVID-19, has been downplaying the severity of the disease. He said falsely that, compared with the flu, COVID-19 is "in most populations far less lethal."

The social media companies said the accounts and pages were linked to Russian actors that had launched "hack-and-leak" operations to hurt Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.

In the first criminal charges connected to the Twitter hack earlier this month, state and federal authorities reveal new details about how the scheme allegedly occurred.

Adversaries have exploited Twitter from the bottom up and the outside in. Now the case has been proven that it also can be seized from the inside out with implications for the fall election.

Lawmakers and government agencies say the attack exposes vulnerabilities in the social network's systems that could be exploited to spread disinformation.
