YouTube takes down select committee’s video

by · Published · Updated

YouTube confirmed on Friday that it had removed a video uploaded by the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot for violating the platform’s election integrity policy.

  • “Our election integrity policy prohibits content advancing false claims that widespread fraud, errors or glitches changed the outcome of the 2020 U.S. presidential election, if it does not provide sufficient context,” Ivy Choi, a YouTube spokesperson, said in a statement.
  • “We enforce our policies equally for everyone, and have removed the video uploaded by the January 6th Committee channel,” Choi added.

The context: The video in question was a clip of a hearing that the committee conducted and posted to the video platform on Tuesday, The New York Times reported.

 

Part of the video showed former President Trump baselessly claiming on Fox Business that “We had glitches where they moved thousands of votes from my account to Biden’s account,” according to the Times.
