Scoop: YouTube restores Trump's channel

Source: Axios

YouTube will lift its restrictions on former President Trump's channel Friday, a spokesperson confirmed to Axios.

...

Details: On Friday, YouTube's vice president of public policy Leslie Miller told Axios that beginning March 17, the Donald J. Trump channel "is no longer restricted and the ability to upload new content is restored."

"We carefully evaluated the continued risk of real-world violence, balancing that with the importance of preserving the opportunity for voters to hear equally from major national candidates in the run up to an election," Miller said.

"This channel will continue to be subject to our policies, just like any other channel on YouTube."

1. I hope as soon as he starts spouting disinformation that they take it down again

That's the only responsible thing to do. No one with any common sense wants to hear from a candidate backed by Putin.

4. Not really surprised that Google is more than willing to throw their lot in with him.

The large tech-corpos are all corrupt.

6. Because Trump corrupted them.

Remember the MAGA's war on "big tech" because they couldn't be as racist and sexist as they wanted to be? And that endless shit we had to endure about Section 230 and whatever shadowbanning was? I'm so sick of these morons.

7. What's going to happen if he posts a video to overthrow the government?

And tells his supporters to take their guns to liberal cities and shoots woke people?

Seriously I wouldn’t doubt the orange maniac would get that delusional and desperate if he gets indicted.

9. From the restraint Trump has shown in his recent media posts, he has clearly learned his lesson.

PrudeTube won't show T&A, but they will give a platform to a powerful media figure who promotes real-world treason and violence.

I wonder if their algorithm will start recommending Trump content to me, like they recommend crap like Joe Rogan, Ben Shapiro, Glenn Beck and Blaze contributors, Jordan Peterson, Daily Caller, FOXNews, and the other great content they seem to think I should be watching.
