President Trump you may have to resort to opening a MySpace account to stay “online” – because the guy can’t get broadband anywhere else now … not even on Shopify.
DT was banned from a handful of social media apps and social networking sites far beyond Twitter and Facebook / Instagram – which kicked him earlier this week after they said he used his platforms to incite a violent uprising on the US Capitol. USA.
Since then … even more companies have taken steps to keep their pages free from Trump, including some you never thought Prez could use, whether to post or consume.
Among those who blocked / restricted Trump and / or Trump content – Pinterest (for #StoptheSteal items), Shopify (for MAGA and other related products), Twitch (no more Trump live streams), Snapchat (Trump account already doesn’t exist), Reddit (the topic r / The_Donald is dead) and even TikTok (which Trump was trying to ban himself, ironically).
Remember, Twitter pulled the plug permanently on Trump’s Twitter account – his favorite platform in recent years – quoting other calls for violence, directly or indirectly … this after Trump’s 12-hour suspension has expired, and he tweeted to his “patriots” again.
Twitter’s move to kick it forever also came after Facebook / Instagram did something similar … suspending your account indefinitely, at least until Bidenthe inauguration is finished.
We believe that the risks of allowing President Trump to continue using our service during this period are simply too great, so we are extending the blocking we put on his Facebook and Instagram accounts indefinitely and at least for the next two weeks. pic.twitter.com/JkyGOTYB1Z

There’s a place Trump could turn to put his voice on the Internet again – Parler (a social networking site / app that serves the far right) is still open for business … but is also at risk of being blacklisted in stores conventional applications.
Google has already canceled it entirely – meaning that you can no longer download it if you are an Android user – but Apple has not yet done so. On Friday, they gave Parler a 24-hour deadline to provide stricter guidelines for posting regulations … but it is still available as of now.
