Former President Donald Trump can once again upload new videos to YouTube, the company said on Friday.
And within hours of the announcement, he posted his first video titled, "I'M BACK!"
The 11-second video shows Trump talking at a rally saying, "Sorry to keep you waiting. Complicated business. Complicated."
Trump also posted "I'M BACK!" and the video to Facebook, which lifted its ban on his content in January.
Leslie Miller, YouTube's vice president of Public Policy, said the decision to reinstate the former president was taken after the company considered the possibility of him inciting actual violence.
"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," she said in a statement to NPR.

...""Since using social media to incite a violent insurrection against the United States government, Trump's online behavior has gotten even more dangerous," Nicole Gill, executive director of Accountable Tech, said in a statement.
"YouTube put profits and politics over the safety of their users, the integrity of their platform, and the wellbeing of our democracy," she said about allowing him back.
Trump's "I'M BACK!" video got more than 37,000 views in the first couple hours of being live on Friday. It also had nearly 8,000 comments, filled with people welcoming his return.
Meantime, his post on Facebook received more than 66,000 reactions, 17,000 comments and 14,000 shares."

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel i guess this marks the day I’m back off RallyPoint. Every time I see trump I think of the time he call former POW John McCain a loser for being caught, creating an environment filled with sexual harassment, and the mocking of our disabled. His picture makes me cringe.

For those who exhibit prosocial traits, it is quite normal to feel intense disgust and contempt for him, and to immediately reject him!!
