Now, the company said in a statement, leaving the policy in place may have the effect of "curtailing political speech without meaningfully reducing the risk of violence or other real-world harm."

"Two years, tens of thousands of video removals, and one election cycle later, we recognized it was time to reevaluate the effects of this policy in today's changed landscape," YouTube said in a statement. "With that in mind, and with 2024 campaigns well underway, we will stop removing content

Look who owns the voting machines.

1) California is RED.
It is just because of the MASSIVE Election Fraud that stupid, brainwashed people believe Calif. is blue.

Joe Biden won only in the SFO Bay area.
In all the rest of California - including Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange County - Trump won BIG in California!

The leftists were not called “election deniers” and “enemies of democracy” when they complained about the 2000 and 2004 elections.

If they didn’t have double standards they would have no standards at all.

So when Biden gets clobbered, they’ll let people say election fraud all day long.
