YouTube restores Trump's channel

Firstpost  

Washington: YouTube is reinstating former US president Donald Trump’s account, the video-sharing platform said on Friday, more than two years after he was banned over the US Capitol insurrection. “We carefully evaluated the continued risk of real-world violence, while balancing the chance for voters to hear equally from major national candidates in the run up to an election.” YouTube is the latest of several social media platforms that have restored Trump’s accounts after they were frozen in the wake of the insurrection. Social networking giant Meta announced in January it was reinstating Trump’s accounts on Facebook and Instagram with “new guardrails.” His Twitter account, which has 87 million followers, was also blocked after the riot, leaving him to communicate through Truth Social, where he has fewer than five million followers. “Indeed, some of Trump’s most offensive social media posts ended up being critical evidence in lawsuits filed against him and his administration.” But advocacy groups such as Media Matters for America vehemently oppose allowing Trump to exploit the social networking reach of the Big Tech giants.
