YouTube Policy Decisions Government US Election 2020

YouTube announced via a blog post that they would be removing content that alleges “that widespread fraud or errors changed the outcome of the 2020 U.S. Presidential election.” An excerpt from the blog post reads:

Yesterday was the safe harbor deadline for the U.S. Presidential election and enough states have certified their election results to determine a President-elect. Given that, we will start removing any piece of content uploaded today (or anytime after) that misleads people by alleging that widespread fraud or errors changed the outcome of the 2020 U.S. Presidential election, in line with our approach towards historical U.S. Presidential elections.
