The tide is turning?

quote:

Google vowed on Tuesday to offer YouTube accounts that were permanently banned for political speech the ability to be reinstated, and the big tech giant admitted that it once faced pressure from the Biden administration to remove content about COVID-19. Google detailed its remarkable shift in a document, first obtained by Fox News Digital, that a lawyer for the company provided to the House Judiciary Committee. The new policy from Google, also known by its parent company Alphabet, could affect both average users and well-known figures like FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, White House counterterrorism chief Sebastian Gorka and "War Room" podcast host Steve Bannon, all of whom were permanently banned in recent years for COVID-19 or election-related content.

So now they care about differing political speech.

Thank you Elon for being the bastion of freedom of speech during the dark times when the lights were flickering out.

Good. Now who is going to prison for doing it in the first place?

Ditto. That said, does this mean the video of the little scouser kid complaining about not going to the park because of ' fricking chinese' is back up?

Google/Youtube is lying thru their teeth when they say they were FORCED to ban accounts. The people who run G/YT are bad people who have always mistreated conservatives on their platform.

I know this first-hand, because they have shadowbanned and even temporarily banned me. I don't even create content on G/YT, and yet theyve suppressed me for simply expressing conservatives views.

That being said, I take it as good news that they are acknowledging what they have done. My best guess is that they believe that definitive information is about to be introduced proving that the 2020 election was both manipulated and stolen, and they want to get out front on that. A mea culpa of sorts, if you will.

I can tell you that they don’t give a shite about free speech. They care about antitrust cases ongoing in the United States and abroad that the current admin could help them out with by choosing to poorly prosecuting those cases and pressuring foreign powers.

frick Google/Alphabet and frick YouTube. They in effect castrated my son's YT channel for some BS but yet there's fricking ISIS training and recruitment videos up on YT. My son even pointed that out to them and they changed nothing.

frick them.

When will they return the public dislike counter?

They removed it under Biden, probably due to the heavy ratios the MSM got.

Was helpful in determining which videos were crap and saved a lot of time.

This!

They bowed to the pressure (at best). They will do the same the next time. I think it is more likely they are bowing now to Trump and are simply waiting for their side to get back in power.

In the big scheme of things. It does not matter. Either way they have shown that they will do whatever is required to silence the voices of reason. FULL STOP. They are the enemy.
