X Platform Restores Kanye West's Account After Months of Suspension

The social media platform "X," previously known as Twitter, has restored the account of artist Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, after being suspended for nearly eight months due to the rapper violating the platform's rules against inciting violence. The Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday, citing the platform, that "Ye will not be eligible to earn income from his X account, and advertisements will not appear alongside his posts." The report cited an informed source stating that "X restored Ye's account after receiving assurances that he would not use it to publish antisemitic rhetoric or cause harm." Ye's account was suspended in December, just two months after being reinstated, following revelations that one of his previous posts featured a swastika inside the Star of David. Ye has not posted anything new since his account was restored.
