TRUMP WINS AGAIN AS YOUTUBE UNBANS HIS CHANNEL

President Donald Trump has been given another victory against Big Tech. After recently being unbanned from Facebook and Twitter, his YouTube account is now reinstated.

“Starting today, the Donald J. Trump channel is no longer restricted and can upload new content,” an official YouTube account tweeted. “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 released a statement to Twitter Friday, explaining the decision, and clarifying that President Trump will be held to the current platform rules.

“This channel will continue to be subject to our policies, just like any other channel on YouTube,” the account tweeted.

In 2021, President Trump filed lawsuits against big tech giants YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook on the grounds that they were unlawfully censoring him, per NPR. As the 2024 election draws closer, his presidential campaign is arguably in need of uncensored access to voters.

Since being forced off of YouTube, Trump has gained a following on his Rumble channel and it is unclear whether he plans to return to YouTube’s social media video source being that he has refrained from returning to Twitter after regaining full access to that account.

He’s on the verge of being indicted. There is no reason his bilge should appear in public. We have democracy to protect.

Just like it wasn't for two years.

Maybe, but who is the current President and how much decision making power does Trump have over the Federal government?

Answer: Not Trump and None.

Wrong! Trump has been unbanned because the Left believes it to be in their interest to facilitate the Trump-DeSantis food-fight.

He sure does. He’s not done yet. He fights for our rights but he can’t do like the left do. Too much BORG.

Big picture requires that all pieces fit.

And It’s a humongous picture!

So, Sundar Pichai and his little band of liberal marxist Trump and America haters decided to reinstate Trump.

Seems to me like Trump is doing just fine without them. I hope he totally ignores Utube which will then, hopefully, hasten the day they file Chapter 11.

I'm beginning to wonder what is going on.

Twit, Fakebook, now ThereTube.

I get it with twit, but fakebook and the tube within one day?

I it possible there is a growing faction that is seeing the current prog administration utterly destroying the US?

If PDJT can be arrested when no crime exists what happens when fb and yt make a "wrong" move?

Are they finally seeing the need to actually have differing opinions on their platforms instead of just claiming they do?

That only happens with coordination. They were told to unban Trump by the same entity that issues the daily talking point narratives to all Leftist media organs
