Decisions by Twitter and Facebook-parent Meta to bring back Trump could see other platforms make similar moves. But for now, some of these other companies appear to be sticking with their policies.

But that could just be the start. The decisions by Twitter and now Facebook-parent Meta to bring back Trump could push — or at least provide cover for — a number of other platforms to make similar moves. Facebook and Twitter restricted Trump’s accounts in the aftermath of the January 6 attack. The bans were seen as necessary by tech executives, and indeed many on Capitol Hill, believing Trump could use their platforms to incite further violence.

A YouTube spokesperson told CNN Wednesday that the company currently had “nothing to share” on whether the company is or plans to consider reversing its suspension. Shopify, Stripe, Discord and Reddit did not immediately respond to requests for comment about the possibility of following Meta and Twitter’s leads and reversing their bans.

Meta says it will restore Donald Trump's Facebook and Instagram accounts | CNN BusinessFacebook-parent Meta said on Wednesday that it will restore former President Donald Trump's accounts on Facebook and Instagram in the coming weeks, just over two years after suspending him in the wake of the January 6 Capitol attack. Let the circus begin again. 🙄 Will he now do something on social media? Worst possible decision. Worst possible time. Worst possible person. Meta is going to hoist themselves on Trump’s petard and then whine about what happened.
