Snapchat Will No Longer Promote President Trump's Account

Platform's Discover channel won't allow those who 'incite racial violence'

Snapchat will no longer promote President Donald Trump’s account on its Discovery channel following statements he made off the platform this weekend, the company said today.

“We will not amplify voices who incite racial violence and injustice by giving them free promotion on Discover,” a Snapchat spokesperson confirmed to Adweek. “Racial violence and injustice have no place in our society, and we stand together with all who seek peace, love, equality and justice in America.”

According to the spokesperson, the decision was made after Trump tweeted that protesters would be “greeted with the most vicious dogs and ominous weapons, I have ever seen” if they came close to breaching the White House fence.
