For years, conservatives have warned that Big Tech wasn’t just biased, it was actively colluding with the Democrat Party to silence political opposition. Now, thanks to House Republicans, Google’s parent company Alphabet has admitted what many of us already knew: the Biden administration leaned on YouTube to deplatform conservatives, even when their content didn’t violate YouTube’s own rules. This isn’t conspiracy theory territory anymore—it’s right there in writing, in a letter from Google’s lawyers to the House Judiciary Committee.
The letter openly states that “Senior Biden Administration officials, including White House officials, conducted repeated and sustained outreach to Alphabet and pressed the Company regarding certain user-generated content related to the COVID-19 pandemic that did not violate its policies.” In plain English, the Biden White House pressured Google to censor lawful speech. That’s government-directed censorship, which crosses the line from corporate overreach into unconstitutional territory.
This hits close to home for many conservative creators who paid a heavy price. Entire podcasts were demonetized or banned because they wouldn’t use “preferred pronouns” or because they dared to question COVID policies that later turned out to be wrong. Dan Bongino was banned for saying masks don’t stop COVID—an observation the CDC eventually admitted. Senator Rand Paul was censored for challenging lockdowns. Even President Trump himself was silenced. YouTube, Twitter, Meta—they all moved in lockstep with Biden’s demands.
Alphabet is now trying to play clean-up. Their letter promises amnesty, saying terminated creators can return if they were banned under COVID or election “integrity” policies that are no longer in effect. But this hollow gesture comes five years too late. The damage is already done. Bongino, RFK Jr., President Trump, and countless smaller accounts were smeared, silenced, and in many cases financially ruined. Meanwhile, the Left cheered as its political opponents were erased from the digital town square.
This is why conservatives cannot afford to declare victory just because Google admitted wrongdoing. It’s not a victory unless there are real consequences. As long as Big Tech executives can shrug and say “Oops, our bad” without facing criminal or civil liability, they’ll do it again the moment Democrats return to power. Free speech isn’t safe until these companies are held accountable in court.
President Trump is right: Republicans in office need to act. They now have the evidence in writing. No more excuses, no more letters, no more empty policy changes. It’s time for prosecutions and lawsuits. That’s the only language Silicon Valley understands.
