[Asia Economy Reporter Park Byung-hee] Susan Wojcicki, CEO of YouTube, said that former President Donald Trump's YouTube channel will be restored when the time is right.

On the 4th (local time), according to major foreign media, CEO Wojcicki participated in an event hosted by the American think tank Atlantic Council and said that the suspension of former President Trump's channel will be lifted once the risk of violence decreases.

However, she added that the suspension of former President Trump's channel will be maintained for the time being, as the risk of violence remains high. She pointed out the ongoing risk of violence by referring to the absurd claim that Trump would be reinstated on March 4th.

YouTube suspended former President Trump's channel on January 12th, shortly after the January 6th riot at the U.S. Capitol. YouTube stated that the channel was automatically suspended for seven days after attempting to upload videos that violated its content policies. The suspension was later extended.

Before YouTube, Twitter and Facebook had suspended Trump's accounts.

Twitter permanently suspended former President Trump's account. Facebook also imposed an indefinite suspension and referred the decision to an independent oversight board for review.
