Part 2/11:
One of the prominent stories of the day revolves around Google and YouTube. During hearings with the House Judiciary Committee, Google publicly admitted to engaging in censorship under the Biden administration. They promised to restore accounts that had been banned or censored for political speech, explicitly affirming their commitment to free expression.
The company also disclosed that the Biden administration pressured them to censor American content and remove videos that did not violate YouTube’s policies. Google labeled this government influence as "unacceptable and wrong," asserting that public debate should remain uninhibited by governmental pressure. Furthermore, Google emphasized that it would not rely on third-party fact-checkers, which are often scrutinized for bias.
