YouTube's Election Misinformation Policy Reversal
TL;DR Summary
YouTube will no longer remove videos claiming the 2020 US presidential election was stolen, citing concerns about curtailing political speech. However, the platform will continue to ban videos that mislead voters about voting processes and encourage interference with democratic processes. Meanwhile, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claims that Instagram is automatically banning his attempts to set up an official campaign account.
