‘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 says. While uproar lingers over ABC’s temporary cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel’s talk show, Google on Tuesday acknowledged that the Biden administration exerted “unacceptable and wrong” pressure upon the company to remove YouTube content related to Covid-19. Google’s parent company, Alphabet, shared the stunning disclosure in a letter sent to the House Judiciary Committee following a years-long investigation. The company shared that during the 2020 pandemic, Biden administration officials — including President Biden himself — pressed Google to remove YouTube content related to Covid-19 that did not actually violate the platform’s existing policies. “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 wrote.
