WASHINGTON, D.C. – 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.

Full Letter.

Google also admitted the following to the House Judiciary Committee:

  1. The Biden Administration pressured Google to censor Americans and remove content that did not violate YouTube’s policies.
  2. The Biden Administration censorship pressure was “unacceptable and wrong.”
  3. Public debate should never come at the expense of relying “authorities.”
  4. The company will never use third-party “fact-checkers.”
  5. Europe’s censorship laws target American companies and threaten American speech, including the removal of “lawful content.”

    And when the MAGA are out of power, Google will release a statement admitting the Trump administration pressured them into admitting the Biden administration pressured them into censoring Americans.

    And throughout all that time, Google will continue getting slaps on the wrist from the courts whenever they break the law.
