YouTube changes misinformation policy to allow videos falsely claiming fraud in the 2020 US election

In a surprising move, YouTube has reversed its stance on election misinformation, now permitting videos that propagate false claims of fraud in the 2020 US election. The announcement, made on a Friday afternoon, left many puzzled as the company failed to provide specific reasons for this abrupt change. It’s worth noting that YouTube had initially implemented a ban on content disputing the election results in December 2020.
