Snap, the company behind Snapchat, has decided to no longer show messages from US President Donald Trump’s account in the Discover tab. The account will remain.

The Discover tab is the place to promote posts from famous people. Trump’s messages incite racial violence, Snap claims, according to The Verge. “We will not amplify voices inciting racial violence and injustice. Racist violence and injustice have no place in our society and we stand with all those seeking peace, love, equality and justice in the US.”

Snap comes to decision after reports from Trump about the unrest in the United States. Twitter hid them and Facebook left them, although director Mark Zuckerberg said in a telephone conversation with Trump that he found the messages “inflammatory and harmful”.

Snap issued a statement this weekend expressing support for protests targeting institutional racism in the United States. Due to the unrest, several events have already been canceled, including Sony’s announcement for PS5 games.
