It took over two years, but YouTube has finally learned a crucial lesson about the dangers of restricting political speech.
This month, the online video giant announced important changes to its policy of removing videos that include election-related “misinformation.”
YouTube began the policy in an effort to stop particular categories of misinformation that the company claims to cause real-world harm, including assertions that previous elections had not been fairly decided. The site removed thousands of videos under these rules, many of which allegedly included unsubstantiated claims about the 2020 presidential election.
