YouTube restores Donald Trump’s channel

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:35:34 GMT

(CNN) — YouTube on Friday said it would restore former President Donald Trump’s channel, more than two years after suspending it following the January 6 attack on the US Capitol.The move follows similar actions by Twitter and Facebook-parent Meta in recent months, although Trump has yet to resume posting on those platforms. It also comes after Trump announced last fall that he would run for president again in 2024.“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,” YouTube said in a tweet Friday.The channel restoration was first reported by Axios.YouTube initially suspended Trump’s channel after the Capitol riot, saying a video on the channel had violated its policy against inciting violence. Since then, Trump’s account had been blocked from uploading new videos or livestreams.YouTube had also disabled comments underne...

WHO: Raccoon dog data give clues to COVID origin — but no definitive answer

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:35:34 GMT

New Chinese data on genetic samples taken in the Wuhan market in China in 2020 don’t provide a definitive answer as to how the COVID-19 pandemic began, the World Health Organization (WHO) said Friday, following media reports that the data link the pandemic’s origins to raccoon dogs at the market.The data in question was uploaded to the international virus database GISAID by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention late last week, according to the Atlantic, but hastily removed following questions from international scientists. However, an analysis of the data by a team of international researchers, first reported by the Atlantic on Thursday, found that samples containing coronavirus also contained genetic material from animals, including raccoon dogs. This led to suggestions that raccoon dogs being sold at the market could have been carrying the virus. The WHO, which only became aware of the data over the weekend, was bombarded with questions about the import...
