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).
