() Parent company Alphabet will restore YouTube accounts that were deleted for violations of COVID-19 policies that prohibited misinformation and posts that violated election integrity policies.

Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, posted a letter from Alphabet outlining its plan to roll back what he characterized as “censorship policies.”

Jordan had subpoenaed YouTube and other social media platforms as part of Republican-led investigations into online moderation policies.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Biden administration asked social media companies to remove false information about the virus that could be potentially harmful. That included misleading information about vaccines, ineffective treatment and the severity of the virus.

In the letter, Alphabet called that request “unacceptable and wrong.”

Alphabet said the company is committed to free speech on YouTube and emphasized it values conservative creators.

The company agreed to restore YouTube accounts that had been removed for violating previous COVID-19 policies and policies regarding false information about the 2020 election.

Alphabet also said it would not institute a fact-checking policy on YouTube.
