The administration pressured them in regards to Covid-19 and election interference content, but the Counsel makes it extremely clear that Youtube did not comply.
"The administration pressured them in regards to Covid-19 and election interference content"
Then why did thousands of accounts get banned for political speech? I've been seeing people screaming about the FCC 'pressuring' ABC to fire Jimmy Kimmel.
Yet, this, which was actually known a few years ago, is all but silenced in the mainstream news and on Facebook.
We see that the current administration has their censorship fingers in everything, which really takes the air out of whatever impact they think this has.
The Disinformation Governance Board (DGB) was a short-lived DHS advisory group, running from March 2, 2022, to August 24, 2022. It was pitched as a way to combat "misinformation," but let's call it what it was: a top-down attempt to gatekeep truth.
The red team hasn't spun up their own version of this Orwellian nightmare -- probably because they lean on something bigger than bureaucracy, like a belief in free thought or a higher power. Nietzsche said you can't be an elite without faith in something beyond the state.
This isn't engineered; it's emergent. The blue team should be sweating -- their push for control lookied like a fringe fever dream. If you're peddling censorship disguised as safety, the only thing you deserve is a one-way ticket to obscurity, or a jail cell.
I'm sure Big Tech has an anti-conservative bias in its moderation but to go as far as to say Biden pressured them to do this? Lol. I'm much more likely to believe Trump team bullied them into signing this declaration than anything else.
Pure propaganda. Biden folks talked to YouTube in hopes they would do what they could to stop COVID disinformation from spreading in a wildly dangerous time. They put public pressure on them? (I never saw it but that’s what the letter claims.) That’s not censorship.
Google could and did do what it wanted. The Biden admin didn’t threaten to revoke licenses or stop mergers over this stuff.

I would ask why, but we all know why.

Is every republican in power attempting o throw press releases about others in the air to distract from their own negative press?

Which was defined as merely questioning official sources, pretending such sources provided nothing but the absolute truth.
