YouTube creators who were removed over their views concerning COVID-19 or the 2020 election can rejoin the service, Google and its parent company, Alphabet, said in a Sept. 23 letter.

Rules in place prohibiting some discussion of COVID-19 and the election were lifted in 2023 or 2024, Google <a href="https://legacy.www.documentcloud.org/documents/26106427-alphabet-letter-to-jordan/">said</a> through its lawyers.

"Today, YouTube's Community Guidelines allow for a wider range of content regarding COVID-19 and elections integrity," it stated. 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if the Company terminated their channels for repeated violations of COVID-19 and elections integrity policies that are no longer in effect."

People whose channels were <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/dan-bongino-permanently-suspended-by-youtube-4238919" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">suspended</a> or taken down included Dan Bongino, the current deputy director of the FBI.

The company said it values conservative content creators and recognizes they regularly land compelling interviewers with politicians, business leaders, and others.

Google described the COVID-19 pandemic as an unprecedented time that forced online platforms to "balance freedom of expression" with moderation of content "that could result in real-world harm." The situation was complicated by top officials in the Biden administration pressuring the company to take action against certain COVID-19 content "that did not violate its policies," it said.

"It is unacceptable and wrong when any government, including the Biden Administration, attempts to dictate how the Company moderates content, and the Company has consistently fought against those efforts on First Amendment grounds," the company stated.

YouTube's medical content policies evolved throughout the pandemic, as health authorities changed their guidance, the company said. The company is now allowing a wide range of content on COVID-19 and elections.

"In contrast to other large platforms, YouTube has not operated a fact-checking program that identifies and compensates fact-checking partners to produce content to support moderation," the letter states. "YouTube has not and will not empower fact-checkers to take action on or label content across the Company's services."

The letter was sent to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), chairman of House of Representatives Judiciary Committee.

"Whether you were an established YouTube presence with a massive following like Dan Bongino or just were starting out to express political views there, YOU will have an opportunity to come back onto the platform if you were censored for engaging in political speech," Jordan wrote on X. "This is another victory in the fight against censorship."

Google did not respond to a request for comment.

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, Facebook's parent company, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/zuckerberg-says-he-regrets-demoting-covid-19-content-5713557">said</a> in 2024 that the company was pressured by top Biden administration officials "to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree." Ultimately, he wrote, it was up to the company to take down or leave up the content.

“I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it,” Zuckerberg added later.

Documents <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/over-50-biden-administration-employees-12-us-agencies-involved-in-social-media-censorship-push-documents-4704349">released</a> in a court case filed by states against the federal government showed that White House lawyer Dana Remus, among others, were involved in the effort to pressure large technology companies to crack down on alleged misinformation during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Supreme Court later <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/supreme-court-rules-for-biden-admin-in-social-media-free-speech-case-5659517">dismissed</a> the case, finding the states did not show they were directly harmed by the efforts.
