“YouTube gives the right wing what he wants

Google, like Meta before it, has taken a strategic decision to excite the knee to the Trump administration and the Republican leadership. in A message addressed to the Judicial Committee of the American Parliament The company issued by President Jim Jordan, the company claimed that the Biden administration tried to pressure it to remove the content that did not explicitly violate the content policies. To correct the situation, the company committed to allow users who have their YouTube accounts to end things like Covid-19 and reject the results of the 2020 presidential election, a way to return to the platform.

In the letter – signed by Dan Donovan, the lawyer who represents Google and YouTube, Alphabet – the company claimed that during the Koronaf virus’s pandem, the company witnessed the Biden administration, which is separated from its neck. White House officials claimed, “Repeated and continuous awareness with the alphabet and pressed the company regarding some of the content created by users related to the Covid-19 epidemic, which did not violate its policies.” It is also called any attempts by the government to influence the policy of moderate content “unacceptable and wrong.” (For anything worth, platforms like YouTube It started to match the wrong information about Covid-19 Before Biden took office.)

Gizmodo communicates with Google to comment in contact with the Trump administration and moderate content, but he did not receive a response at the time of publication.

Alphabet’s speech reflects what Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said during his role via Ringer last year. At that time, Zuckerberg books“I think government pressure was a mistake.” It is worth noting that Zouk made an apology of some kind and said: “We regret that we were not more explicit on this topic.” He claimed that “I also think we have taken some options that, with the benefit of late perception and new information, will not happen today.” Google really does not set anything wrong with her message, it explains a real point to Hammer Home how the Biden administration that was unbearable when it came to request content removal operations.

Although YouTube does not bear the blame actively, it takes steps to reflect its previous decisions. It is worth noting that a plan to return the creators who have been removed under the rules of content policy that are no longer active. The company wrote in its message: “YouTube will provide an opportunity for all creators to join the platform if the company ends their channels for repeated violations of Covid-19 and the election safety policies that are no longer valid.” The company did not respond to a request for additional information about the process to re -account at the time of publication.

It seems in practice that it will not already be allowed to return. On x, YouTube Shown A limited pilot project will be launched that will be available for a sub -group of creators in addition to those channels that have been completed for the policies that have been neglected. ” Moreover, the details are few, unlike some lip services for creators aligned Trump. The company wrote to Congress: “YouTube appreciates the sounds of maintaining its platform and admits that these creators have broad access and play an important role in civil discourse,” the company wrote to Congress.

So why do the white flag waved by defending the previous content policies? A possible idea at the end of the message. There, the company acknowledges that the Jim Jordan Committee “has taken important survey steps to highlight that the hard obligations under laws such as the Digital Services Law and the Digital Markets Law may suffocate innovation and restrict access to information”, with reference to European Union rules It seeks to organize platforms like YouTube to provide more protection for users.

It is said that the Trump administration has Weight options to punish the European Union For these rules, which mainly affect technology companies whose headquarters are headquartered in the United States (although they operate worldwide), in an attempt to obtain a mass to retreat from organizing large technology. Google, which is currently facing Monopolies operating accusations under the European Union LawIt is almost certain that you want to get some regulatory space. If that means allowing Alexjoneesfan420 to download videos on how Covid is a government psyop, it is possible that Google is ready. Welcome to your return, The right -wing pipeline! It seems as if you never left.
