Twitter disables Trump's campaign ‘tribute’ video to George Floyd on its platform, which showed protestors and riots, citing a copyright complaint

Twitter has disabled President Trump's campaign tribute video to George Floyd on its platform, citing a copyright complaint.

The clip, which is a collation of photos and videos of protest marches and instances of violence in the aftermath of Floyd's death, has Trump speaking in the background.   

Floyd's death after a fatal encounter with a police officer on May 25 has led to nationwide, and even global protests. 

In widely circulated video footage, a white officer Derek Chauvin was seen kneeling on Floyd's neck as Floyd gasped for air and repeatedly said, 'I can't breathe,' before passing out.

The decision to remove the video is the latest from Twitter in an on-going feud between the social media platform and the President that begun with Twitter fact-checking his tweets.

Twitter said the video on the president's campaign account was affected by its copyright policy.

'We respond to valid copyright complaints sent to us by a copyright owner or their authorized representatives,' a Twitter representative said.

The three-minute 45-second video uploaded on Trump's YouTube channel was tweeted by his campaign on June 3.

The clip, which is still on YouTube, had garnered more than 60,000 views and 13,000 likes. The video-streaming platform's parent Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The social media platform has been under fierce scrutiny from the Trump administration since it fact-checked Trump's tweets about unsubstantiated claims of mail-in voting fraud. 

It also labeled a Trump tweet about protests in Minneapolis as 'glorifying violence.'

Trump has pledged to introduce legislation that may scrap or weaken a law that shields social media companies from liability for content posted by their users
