YouTube will no longer remove videos claiming the 2020 U.S. presidential election was stolen.
The video platform said in a blog post that it previously removed “tens of thousands” of videos that questioned elections since it implemented the policy in December 2020.
Now, YouTube “will stop removing content that advances false claims that widespread fraud, errors, or glitches occurred in the 2020 and other past U.S. Presidential elections.” The change of heart was “carefully deliberated.”
