YouTube’s parent company, Alphabet, on Tuesday said it would reinstate creators previously banned for spreading misinformation about COVID-19 and false election content.
“Reflecting the Company’s commitment to free expression, YouTube will provide an opportunity for all creators to rejoin the platform if the Company terminated their channels for repeated violations of COVID-19 and elections integrity policies that are no longer in effect,” the company said in a letter <t.co/Y6klQ7pNzw> to Rep. Jim Jordan <thehill.com/people/jim-jordan/>(R-Ohio), chair of the House Judiciary Committee.
“YouTube values conservative voices on its platform and recognizes that these creators have extensive reach and play an important role in civic discourse. The Company recognizes these creators are among those shaping today’s online consumption, landing ‘must-watch’ interviews, giving viewers the chance to hear directly from politicians, celebrities, business leaders, and more,” it added in the five-page correspondence.
Steve Bannon, <thehill.com/people/steve-bannon/> FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino and White House counterterrorism chief Sebastian Gorka <thehill.com/people/sebastian-gorka/>were among those previously banned from the platform for content choices. Each has managed to draw followers to other media sites where they’ve maintained a large audience.
Alphabet blamed the Biden administration for limiting political speech on the platform.
“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,” the letter read.
“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,” it continued.
