I remember when this was just right wing conspiracy

Company officials acknowledged they had gone too far in banning content related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020 presidential election results.

Their censorship came mostly in response to senior Biden administration officials who repeatedly pressured them to take down content even though the material did not violate the company's policies.

Company officials said Biden administration aides and President Biden "created a political atmosphere that sought to influence the actions of platforms based on their concerns regarding misinformation."

Google also admitted to relying on "health authorities" when it initiated policies, kept in place through 2024, that banned certain discussions of COVID-19 policies and various treatments for the virus.

In June 2023, YouTube removed a video of popular podcast host Jordan Peterson interviewing Mr. Kennedy, who was then a presidential candidate. YouTube representatives said at the time that they removed the video "for violating YouTube's general vaccine misinformation policy, which prohibits content that alleges that vaccines cause chronic side effects, outside of rare side effects that are recognized by health authorities."

Mr. Bongino was permanently banned from YouTube in January 2022 after posting two videos that cast doubt on mask-wearing to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

just for reference, Biden pressured Youtube into taking down a video by an opposing presidential candidate.

And as I recall, democrats were cheering the move.

FB also admitted to being pressured by the Biden admin to censor opposing views. The modern liberal party is the Modern Nazi party. They are willing to censor, willing to use the DOJ/FBI/IRS against their opposition, willing to stage show trials, and even willing to convict/jail their opposition.

A podcast I listen to was threatened by YouTube back in 2021.  They were going to have RFK on for an interview.  YT told them if that gets aired, they would be nuked from YT.
