Canadian e-commerce firm Shopify deactivated sites offering merchandise in support of US President Donald Trump a day after his supporters descended on the US Capitol building in an attempt to block lawmakers from certifying Joe Biden’s win in the election. Stores removed from the platform include shop.donaldjtrump.com and trumpstore.com.

Shopify said these stores violated its policies prohibiting users from promoting or supporting organisations that incite violence.

"Shopify does not tolerate actions that incite violence," a Shopify spokesperson said in a statement.

"Based on recent events, we have determined that the actions by President Donald J. Trump violate our Acceptable Use Policy, which prohibits promotion or support of organizations, platforms or people that threaten or condone violence to further a cause. As a result, we have terminated stores affiliated with President Trump,” North American media reports quoted the statement as saying.
