Google Admits Censorship Under Biden; Promises to End Bans of YouTube Accounts of Thousands of Americans Censored for Political Speech

September 23, 2025
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, thanks to the oversight of Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), Google commits to offer all creators previously kicked off YouTube due to political speech violations on topics such as COVID-19 and elections an opportunity to return to the platform.

Google also admitted the following to the House Judiciary Committee: 
  1. The Biden Administration pressured Google to censor Americans and remove content that did not violate YouTube's policies.
  2. The Biden Administration censorship pressure was "unacceptable and wrong."
  3. Public debate should never come at the expense of relying "authorities."
  4. The company will never use third-party "fact-checkers."
  5. Europe's censorship laws target American companies and threaten American speech, including the removal of "lawful content."
These major admissions come after Chairman Jordan's subpoena to Google and a years long investigation into the company.
