"The administration pressured them in regards to Covid-19 and election interference content"

Then why did thousands of accounts get banned for political speech? I've been seeing people screaming about the FCC 'pressuring' ABC to fire Jimmy Kimmel.

Yet, this, which was actually known a few years ago, is all but silenced in the mainstream news and on Facebook.

I would ask why, but we all know why.

They were banned for violating Community Guidelines, not for political speech: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9288567?hl=en
