Google just called out the Biden administration for censorship far worse than anything the Trump team stands accused of.
Alphabet chief counsel Daniel Donovan told the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday that Google is reinstating YouTube accounts yanked years ago for supposedly running afoul of the platform’s policies around COVID and “election integrity,” including those of FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, Sebastian Gorka and Steve Bannon.
Crucially, it turns out many of those banned had never actually broken the rules: The company simply folded, silencing even perfectly true speech, because the Biden crew demanded it, and “created a political atmosphere that sought to influence the actions of platforms based on their concerns regarding misinformation.”
“Misinformation,” once again, simply meaning info (right, wrong or mixed) that the people in power didn’t approve of.
Yes, Biden is gone and his censorship crew with him; Google has started to come clean while Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has apologized for enforcing adherence to the lefty “unicause” on issues from immigration to gender ideology and pledged to make Facebook a free-speech zone.
