Google Caves: "The silenced are a rapidly growing movement with loud voices"

In the wake of No Pasarán's's restoration to the internet, astounding news from Ashley Oliver of Fox News: Google to reinstate banned YouTube accounts censored for political speech.

Google vowed on Tuesday to offer YouTube accounts that were permanently banned for political speech the ability to be reinstated, and the big tech giant admitted that it once faced pressure from the Biden administration to remove content about COVID-19. 

 … "Reflecting the Company’s commitment to free expression, YouTube will provide an opportunity for all creators to rejoin the platform if the company terminated their channels for repeated violations of COVID-19 and elections integrity policies that are no longer in effect," the lawyer representing Google wrote.

 … The document from Google also noted that YouTube "values conservative voices on its platform" and acknowledged that the creators "have extensive reach and play an important role in civic discourse."

 … Google's revelations came in response to a yearslong Republican-led investigation by the committee into big tech companies, including Google, that censored and suppressed content on their platforms related to COVID-19, the 2020 election and Hunter Biden.  

Our ol'-time friend Damian Bennett — who helped me write some of the registered letters to Google (in fact, one of them was just about entirely his doing) — had the same reaction as I did.

Put down your coffee to avoid hot lap spills and a nose snort fountain...

• Google Admits Political Censorship on YouTube, Promises to Embrace Free Speech September 23, 2025

I like to think ¡No Pasarán! shin-kicking Google was some small part of this. 

To quote Abraham Lincoln: Agreed for once, a thousand times agreed.

 

Mutual pal Duncan adds:

Oh, damn! Coffee all over my lap!

These admissions by Alphabet are huge. Castrates these faux-offended Lefties over canceling Colbert and Kimmel. My one big question is when will the continuous collapsing of the narratives cause the Dem voters to start questioning their "leaders?"

And I have no doubt ¡No Pasarán! and Erik's supporters...mainly you [Damian Bennett]...made Google realize that the silenced are a rapidly growing movement with loud voices.
