There will be a lot of pointing fingers as usual. But that's good — the more they blame each other, the more likely they are to spill some more beans.

Dems' objections, however, are laughable. Of course the administration didn't contact each Alphabet employee personally, and rank-and-file moderators likely didn't know where the orders were coming from. There's no contradiction there.

I agree. Based on their logic, nearly every subpoena or inquiry by Congress could be deemed “coercive”.

The «coercive» part is likely speculation;

but the «20 witnesses testified they were not subject to coercion» part is a glaring logic fallacy. It’s like saying «20 Chicago residents testified they were not shot last weekend, therefore there was no shooting at all».

The irony of this statement tho…

“Today, Rep. Jamie Raskin, Ranking Member of the House Committee on the Judiciary, issued the following statement after Alphabet, the parent company of Google and YouTube, informed the Committee that it would reinstate accounts previously banned for disinformation and violations of the company’s own policies, surrendering to political intimidation by House Republicans”

Even if this was an accurate representation of reality, the only reason we’re here is due to Biden admin’s political intimidation.

I largely agree with your sentiment. I would love to abolish the two party system. Although, at this point, I don’t know that it’d help all that much.

Youtube: «We’ve seen some previously terminated creators try to start new channels. To clarify, our pilot program on terminations is not yet open. [...]»

So they're just, er, «considering» letting banned users back.

Isn't it curious that they are 'officially' reopening the option to challenge elections... right as the Left starts claiming that the LAST one was 'rigged'?

Them crafty Globalists.

Still, it IS a good first step. I still use Google products only when I absolutely HAVE to, and will probably never use them regularly again... but at least we now have confirmation of a truth we've always known.
