FIRST ON FOX: 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.
"Reflecting the Company’s commitment to free expression, YouTube will provide an opportunity for all creators to rejoin the platform if the company terminated their channels for repeated violations of COVID-19 and elections integrity policies that are no longer in effect," the lawyer representing Google wrote.

An admission of guilt and collaboration with anti-American forces.
So goal posts moved. Although still plenty of censorship hurdles to overcome.
They’re afraid of something...
“An admission of guilt and collaboration with anti-American forces.”
I beg to differ. Based on their true overall globalist agenda and goals I would say they are just making a switch from censorship mode to viewer evidence collection mode for the future roundup... It is a trap...
It won’t work out the way they believe, even if that was the plan.
Nope... See #5.
Now investigate EBAY.
I had an account created maybe 15 years ago. In the whole time I’ve only used it to make one purchase of a pair of speakers, and one purchase for a television monitor.
I tried to log on about 3 or 4 years ago and they told me my account was permanently banned for “unsafe Behavior”
They have explicitly refused to tell me what that means or why my account was banned. I have made repeated requests and always get the same answer. Your banned and We’re not telling you why you were banned. ( yes pretty much in those exact words )
Sure it will... It already has been for years now. Alphabet/Google has had their hands in the evidence collection industry for a long time. There is almost nowhere on the net where you are not tracked by Google.
So they have realized that if they ban a Youtube channel then there are no users to that channel to collect data from. Allowing them back allows the honeypot collection again. Which of course will be used in the future against personal social credit scores...
Meanwhile, still not a Russian bot and still banned on X.
I wonder how many conservatives are still being messed with on YT, on X...
Banning isn’t the only way to screw with accounts.
Bet YT is still engaging in other forms of harassment.
I agree...

Google didn’t have to capitulate to the Biden Administration, but they did. That makes Google just as guilty.
The headline left off the most damning thing:
“Google to reinstate banned YouTube accounts censored for political speech Tech giant admits Biden administration pressed platform to remove COVID-19 content” ... AND POLITICAL “DISINFORMATION”!!!!!!
Basically, Google disallowed political debate. We now know this “political disinformation” was truthful news about the incumbent president’s family’s financial dealings with enemy nations.
“Google didn’t have to capitulate to the Biden Administration, but they did. That makes Google just as guilty.”
It is easy to understand when the reality is the same entities who own Google also owned Biden.
This might last a week, then googles guidelines will crush them again.
YouTube had me shadow banned for awhile but I noticed a few weeks ago that they had suddenly unbanned me.
That’s nothing new, they’ve always done that.
True, but when they shut off an account they are also shutting off a stream of viewer evidence collection. This would be the only reason they would be turning them back on. They have no conscience or remorse at all so everything they do is towards furthering the globalist end goal.
