  Google-owned YouTube on Thursday morning banned the brand-new channels of Alex Jones and Nick Fuentes -- just two days after the platform touted their newfound commitment to "free expression" in a letter to the House Judiciary Committee.House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) claimed Tuesday on X that Google, under GOP pressure, had committed to offer "ALL creators" banned from YouTube for "political speech" the opportunity to return to the platform.
First Alex Jones and later Nick Fuentes took up the offer by creating new channels on Wednesday.
Both were banned within 24 hours.
As I reported on Wednesday, the text of the document sent to Jordan from Google's lawyers made it clear that he had wildly oversold what Google had promised.  Though they did tout their commitment to "free expression," they only went on to say that they'll "provide an opportunity for all creators to rejoin the platform if the Company terminated their channels for repeated violations of COVID-19 and elections integrity policies that are no longer in effect." As I noted yesterday, "That means the plethora of right-wing figures who were banned over the four years following Trump's election (Red Ice, Nick Fuentes, Alex Jones, etc.) are going to remain banned -- just as the Israel Lobby wants." Odds are that if the GOP wanted to pressure YouTube to restore all their channels, they could. If they can ban TikTok on behalf of the Israel Lobby with zero legal precedent, they can force YouTube to give right-wingers engaged in legal, lawful speech their channels back. The issue is that they don't care, or more likely, actually want them all banned for upsetting the GOP's Israel First donors. UPDATE: "We’ve seen some previously terminated creators try to start new channels," YouTube's PR team said in a statement on Thursday. "To clarify, our pilot program on terminations is not yet open. It’s still against our Community Guidelines for previously terminated users to use, possess or create other channels and we’ll terminate new channels from previously terminated users in accordance with these guidelines. We’ll have more to share on the limited pilot program soon."
"So Youtube will only be reinstating channels they approve under a 'limited pilot program' which hasn't even started yet," Nick Fuentes commented Thursday afternoon on X. "Sounds a little ridiculous. Can't we just have free speech? I've been banned since February 2020 when I was 21 years old."
