🚨 YouTube will reinstate creators previously banned for violating now-defunct policies on COVID-19 misinformation & election integrity according to a letter from Alphabet to Rep. Jim Jordan. In the letter, Alphabet emphasized its commitment to free expression, accused the Biden administration of pressuring the platform to censor content & stated that the reinstatement reflects evolving policies. The move is being viewed as a win for conservatives who have long criticized perceived bias and censorship by tech platforms.
