Borat actor Sacha Baron Cohen has taken to Twitter in order to urge officials at Alphabet, namely Susan Wojcicki and Sundar Pichai to ban President Donald Trump from their video sharing service, YouTube. The actor, who has developed a reputation for his more than vocal nature, especially with regards to the matters in connection with Donald Trump, tagged the two CEO's in a tweet which saw him requesting the two to take down the outgoing President's YouTube account for good, after all the other social media platforms have either restricted his activities on their platform or permanently suspended him for the same. Sacha Baron Cohen considers banning Trump from using every social media platform as a necessary step towards saving democracy. The tweet can be found below.
The Tweet:
Virtually every social media company has removed Trump...EXCEPT YouTube.

Prior to the tweet above, he was also seen making an appeal to the CEO of Twitter for boycotting Trump on the platform, which, as is known to many, turned out to be a successful endeavor. The tweet below, in addition to the appeal that Cohen made, sees Cohen implying that Jack Dorsey, the CEO of Twitter, is equally responsible for the lives lost during the ongoing US Capitol Building rots as his platform was used by Trump to spread what he considers to be hate-filled propaganda messages. The tweet can be found below.
