Google Admits to Censoring Americans at the Behest of the Biden Admin, Vows to Make Amends

Conservative News DailySeptember 23, 2025

Google has acknowledged censoring Americans due to pressure from the Biden administration and has promised to restore YouTube accounts that where banned for political speech. In a letter to Republican House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, google described the administration’s pressure as “unacceptable and wrong” and committed to allowing creators, whose channels were terminated under outdated COVID-19 and election misinformation policies, to rejoin the platform. High-profile conservatives like Steve Bannon and Dan Bongino were among those banned after challenging official narratives on COVID-19 and the 2020 election, leading many conservatives to migrate to alternative platforms like Rumble.

Google admitted that Biden administration officials repeatedly urged the company to remove user-generated content that did not violate Google’s policies, effectively creating a climate of censorship targeting legal speech. The company also praised Jordan’s committee for highlighting the risks of applying foreign speech restrictions to Americans and vowed not to use third-party fact-checkers for content moderation in the future. Jordan hailed the developments as major victories for free speech and the First Amendment.

Google has admitted to censoring Americans under pressure from the Biden administration and has promised to make amends.

In a Tuesday letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, a Republican from Ohio, Google said YouTube accounts banned for political speech would be restored.

Google also called the pressure from the Biden administration “unacceptable and wrong.”

“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if the company terminated their channels for repeated violations of COVID-19 and elections integrity policies that are no longer in effect,” a lawyer for Google wrote to Jordan.

Jordan d the letter on X on Tuesday in a lengthy thread.

🚨BREAKING: Due to our oversight efforts, GOOGLE commits to offer ALL creators previously kicked off YouTube due to political speech violations to return to the platform.

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL.

High-profile conservatives — such as former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon and former Secret Service officer Dan Bongino, now FBI deputy director — were banned by YouTube under the Biden administration.

Those bans came after they and others challenged official narratives about COVID and the 2020 election.

Countless conservatives were ultimately forced to migrate to the free speech platform Rumble or elsewhere.

The company admitted conservatives “have extensive reach and play an important role in civic discourse.”

Google further acknowledged that the Biden administration leaned on it to take down legal speech.

“Senior Biden Administration officials, including White House officials, conducted repeated and sustained outreach to Alphabet and pressed the Company regarding certain user-generated content related to the COVID-19 pandemic that did not violate its policies,” the company’s lawyer said.

Google admitted Biden’s team pressured it to create a climate of censorship that pressured tech platforms to crack down on legal speech that did not violate its own policies.

The tech giant also acknowledged in its message that Jordan’s committee had taken crucial steps to highlight the danger of foreign speech restrictions, such as those in Europe, being applied to Americans.

The company also vowed never again to use third-party fact-checkers to moderate content.

Jordan celebrated the announcement as a victory.

The Ohio Republican concluded on Tuesday, “All the above are MASSIVE wins for the American people, the First Amendment, and freedom. We won’t stop fighting to protect free speech.”
