Anyone looking to get the latest from Donald Trump will now be able to hear from the former president on YouTube.
The Google-owned video site has lifted its restrictions on Trump's YouTube channel, and Trump will be allowed to post videos on the site starting on Friday. The reinstatement comes more than two years after YouTube (NASDAQ:GOOG) suspended Trump's channel following the riots at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
YouTube (GOOG) said in a tweet announcing the decision that Trump's channel is "no longer restricted" and new content can be uploaded as for Friday.
"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, adding that Trump's channel "will continue to be subject to our policies, just like any other channel on YouTube."
As of Friday morning, Trump had posted no new videos on his YouTube channel. 
On Thursday, YouTube (GOOG) said it would raise the price of its YouTube TV subscription service to $72.99 a month from $64.99. The new price point is meant to help cover content costs and is set to take effect on April 18.
