YouTube tells Jim Jordan it will reinstate creators banned for COVID-19, election content Sep. 23, 2025, By Sabrina Eaton, cleveland.com WASHINGTON - YouTube has agreed to reinstate creators previously banned for COVID-19 and election-related content, marking a significant shift in the platform’s content moderation policies following intense pressure from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan and ongoing Republican investigations into alleged government censorship. In a letter sent Tuesday, the video platform, owned by Alphabet, made several major concessions to the House Judiciary Committee including admitting the Biden administration pressured the company to remove content that did not violate YouTube’s own policies. The letter written by Alphabet’s attorneys called the Biden administration’s censorship pressure “unacceptable and wrong.” “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,” the letter said. The letter also said YouTube “has not and will not empower fact-checkers to take action on or label content across the Company’s services,” though it provides a feature that allows users to “provide relevant, timely and understandable context on videos.” The announcement represents a victory for Jordan, who has spent years investigating what Republicans characterize as a coordinated effort by the previous administration to suppress free speech on social media platforms. https://www.cleveland.com/news/2025/09/youtube-tells-jim-jordan-it-will-reinstate-creators-banned-for-covid-19-election-content.html Bans of pro-Russian Ukraine war and anti-vax Covid content creators overturned.
