(Reuters) – Meta Platform’s (NASDAQ:) Instagram on Sunday lifted its suspension against the account of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., nephew of the late president John F. Kennedy, The Washington Post reported.<\/p>\n

Kennedy, who is making a long shot bid to challenge Biden for the Democratic nomination, was removed from the photo-sharing platform in 2021 for reportedly sharing debunked claims about COVID-19 in violation of its policies on the pandemic.<\/p>\n

“As he is now an active candidate for president of the United States, we have restored access to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s Instagram account,” Meta spokesperson Andy Stone said in a statement, according to the newspaper.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Kennedy in a series of tweets said that Instagram had still not reinstated his account and that “to silence a major political candidate is profoundly undemocratic.”<\/p>\n

In 2019, Kennedy’s relatives, including Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, Joseph P. Kennedy II, and Maeve Kennedy McKean – wrote a Politico op-ed, criticizing his previous statements on vaccines as “misinformation.”<\/p>\n

In September 2021, Alphabet (NASDAQ:) Inc’s YouTube also banned channels associated with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and other prominent anti-vaccine activists Joseph Mercola.<\/p>\n

Meta did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
