YouTube would consider lifting Donald Trump's suspension if the "real-world violence" threat decreases.
The video sharing platform's CEO Susan Wojcicki explained how the company will consider government warnings and violent rhetoric to inform their decision about whether it's safe to end the ban, which has been in place since the Capitol Hill riot on January 6.
Speaking to the Atlantic Council this week, Wojcicki said: "It's pretty clear that right now where we stand, that there still is that elevated risk of violence."
She clarified that the former US President's conduct - which YouTube said violated its incitement of violence policy - had not resulted in a permanent ban.
Under the company's three strike system, an account must get all three strikes within 90 days to be hit to be removed permanently.
January's suspension was Trump's first strike, which usually results in a seven-day suspension.
However, Trump's ban has been lengthened due to to the continued risk of violence.
At the end of January, a spokesperson said: "In light of concerns about the ongoing potential for violence, the Donald J. Trump channel will remain suspended.
"Our teams are staying vigilant and closely monitoring for any new developments."
As well as YouTube's suspension, Twitter permanently banned Trump, and Facebook has indefinitely blocked his account.
