Former US President Donald Trump is no longer banned from YouTube. This would allow Trump to post messages and videos to all major social media channels again. Its ban on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat earlier has also been lifted.
In January 2021, Trump was banned from YouTube, among other things, after Trump supporters stormed the Capitol. There were deaths and injuries, and there was great damage. Shortly before his supporters stormed the House of Representatives, Trump gave an inflammatory speech in Washington.
After the storm, Trump was initially banned from YouTube for a week, but that ban lasted more than two years.
