Today, thanks to the oversight of Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), Google commits to offer all creators previously kicked off YouTube due to political speech violations on topics such as COVID-19 and elections an opportunity to return to the platform.
Google also admitted the following to the House Judiciary Committee:
- The Biden Administration pressured Google to censor Americans and remove content that did not violate YouTube’s policies.
- The Biden Administration censorship pressure was “unacceptable and wrong.”
- Public debate should never come at the expense of relying “authorities.”
- The company will never use third-party “fact-checkers.”
- Europe’s censorship laws target American companies and threaten American speech, including the removal of “lawful content.”
These major admissions come after Chairman Jordan’s subpoena to Google and a years long investigation into the company.
