Their return, after bans for hate speech violations, has been criticised by campaigners.
Anti-Islam activist Tommy Robinson has had his account reinstated on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.
Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was reinstated alongside political commentator Katie Hopkins.
Hopkins was banned in 2020 and Robinson’s account was suspended in 2018 — Twitter accused both of breaking its rules on hateful conduct.
A number of controversial figures have been allowed back on the platform since it was bought by Elon Musk last year.
In November 2022, Mr Musk — a self-styled «free speech absolutist» — announced a «general amnesty» to suspended accounts that had «not broken the law or engaged in egregious spam».
Research by BBC Monitoring found that of 1,100 reinstated accounts it examined, nearly 190 were promoting hate and violence.
