Google admitted President Joe Biden’s administration “pressed” the tech giant and YouTube to censor content the administration felt was COVID-19 “misinformation.” Now, YouTube and Google are calling for conservative voices to “rejoin” if they were booted for violating now-scrapped rules on what users could say about COVID-19 and election integrity.
Company attorney Daniel Donovan shared the jarring admission on Tuesday while speaking to the House Judiciary Committee, and later, in a letter to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH).
President Biden and his administration, Donovan wrote, “created a political atmosphere that sought to influence the actions of platforms based on their concerns regarding misinformation.”
He also said:
“Senior Biden Administration officials, including White House officials, conducted repeated and sustained outreach to Alphabet and pressed the Company regarding certain user-generated content related to the COVID-19 pandemic that did not violate its policies. While the Company continued to develop and enforce its policies independently, Biden Administration officials continued to press the Company to remove non-violative user-generated content.”
Some notable Republican who were booted from YouTube for violating its rules include Steve Bannon and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, the New York Post noted.
