Washington, D.C. – YouTube has agreed to reinstate creators who were previously banned from posting content on COVID-19 or elections, following intense pressure from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH). The move represents a major victory for free speech advocates—but raises a glaring question: why doesn’t the same principle apply to lawful Second Amendment content?
Rep. Jordan celebrated the reversal on social media, declaring:
“BREAKING: Due to our oversight efforts, GOOGLE commits to offer ALL creators previously kicked off YouTube due to political speech violations to return to the platform. BUT THAT’S NOT ALL.” — [Jim Jordan on X]
A Shift Under Oversight
Alphabet, YouTube’s parent company, admitted in a letter to Jordan’s committee that the Biden administration pressured the company to remove content that did not violate YouTube’s own rules. The attorneys called that pressure “unacceptable and wrong,” and pledged that “no matter the political atmosphere, YouTube will continue to enable free expression on its platform, particularly as it relates to issues subject to political debate.”
