YouTube Call To Monitor Fake 2020 Election Fraud Claims Criticised By Joe Biden Campaign Donald Trump US Presidential Election

ABP News  

The re-election campaign of US President Joe Biden criticised YouTube's recent decision to cease monitoring false claims about election fraud in the 2020 race, deeming it "reckless" and warning of potential violence. Last Friday, YouTube announced that it would no longer remove content containing potentially false claims related to the 2020 US presidential elections and preceding periods. Former President Donald Trump, Biden's opponent, repeatedly made baseless claims regarding widespread fraud in the election. Munoz emphasised that YouTube's policy change does not negate the fact that Biden legitimately won the 2020 presidential election.
