YouTube has announced that they are reversing their policy which banned any claims of fraud in the 2020 US Presidential election. The policy has been seen to limit constitutionally protected speech, and will no longer be in effect from Friday.

The video platform stated that the removal of this content could curtail political speech without effectively reducing any real-world harm or violence, so they will stop removing content that advances false claims of widespread fraud, errors, or glitches occurring in the election.

In their statement, YouTube acknowledged they recognized the need to reevaluate this policy two years, tens of thousands of videos, and one election cycle later. Social media companies are yet again loosening their policies in the lead up to the 2024 Presidential election.
