Google admitted Tuesday that it bowed to pressure from the Biden administration to censor conservative voices.

Saying that the crackdown on social conservative media creators is a sort of George Orwell type of censorship, Congressman Jim Jordan praised Google’s decision to reinstate YouTube authors formerly gagged under President Joe Biden, calling the decision “a win for free expression.”
As the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Jordan told The Daily Wire that Google and YouTube parent company Alphabet acknowledged in a Tuesday letter to the committee that the company and its subsidiaries caved to bullying from the Biden administration to suppress conservative creators speaking out about election integrity and COVID-19.
“They had kicked some people off the YouTube platform altogether — you, your channel, you’re gone. They’ve agreed to reinstate those individuals, which I think is good. They’ve said they will not use fact-checkers, like other platforms have done — which is a big problem because fact-checkers are typically really biased against conservatives. I thought it was, again, a win for the First Amendment, a win for free expression,” Jordan said.
Among the creators who were banned under the Biden administration included Dan Bongino and Sebastian Gorka. Both creators are now working for the Trump administration.
Jordan recalled just how zealous the Biden administration’s censorship attempts were in their quest to crack down on conservative commentators.
🚨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.

“Never forget the Biden administration established the disinformation governance board,” Jordan said on Wednesday’s edition of Morning Wire. “I mean, the most Orwellian-sounding thing you could think of — as if a bunch of bureaucrats can tell you what you can say, what you can read, what you can tweet, what you can post! That was frightening stuff.”
Happily, Jordan said, “we had an election last November and, thank goodness, things changed.”
In a letter, Alphabet promised a “commitment to free expression,” and said it “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if the company terminated their channels for repeated violations of COVID-19 and elections integrity policies that are no longer in effect.”
Even so, Jordan said a lot more work has to be done. He cautioned that the United States could soon fall prey to European speech restrictions — something congressional Republicans are fighting to stop.
