Google admits censorship under Biden

https://judiciary.house.gov/

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, thanks to the oversight of House Judiciary Committee 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.
