Donald Trump: Donald Trump, the former president of the US, has returned to Facebook and YouTube.

As he makes another bid for the presidency in 2024, his return provides him access to crucial venues for political funding, enabling him to connect with a total of 146 million users across three significant tech platforms. Referring to its move to restore his account, YouTube in a tweet said, “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.”
