If you have been following news about Donald Trump, you would know that he got banned by Facebook, YouTube and Twitter for breaking their policy.

From our report yesterday, MCMC and the PDRM are now investigating the dating social network and claimed that it has violated Section 233 of the Multimedia and Communications Act 1998 for "illegal" activities (but no proof yet).

Ah, former US President Trump. While he did make a lot of people angry over the past four years, some of his tweets (probably handled by his marketing team) were pretty entertaining.

If you have been following the news in the USA, Donald Trump's supporters are surely causing a lot of trouble in the Capitol.

With this, the US Bureau of Industry and Security will be banning the 38 companies that are affiliated with them.
