Google -owned YouTube will stop removing false claims of widespread election fraud in the 2020 presidential race, the video platform announced on Friday. The decision, which comes ahead of the 2024 midterm races, undoes a policy implemented in December 2020, after President Joe Biden won the election. In the 2020 elections, the company faced backlash for delayed action when it came to labeling and removing videos that showed misinformation or that falsely claimed widespread voter fraud. YouTube said there are still aspects of its election misinformation policy that remain, including highlighting authoritative sources in search and recommendations and prohibiting posts that aim to mislead voters on where and how to vote.

Google should be sanctioned for failing to preserve chat messages between employees related to an antitrust case brought by Epic Games, a federal judge in California ruled on Tuesday. The company "adopted a 'don't ask, don't tell' policy for keeping messages, at the expense of its preservation duties," the judge said in the filing. A Google spokesperson said at the time of the DOJ's filing that it disagrees with the DOJ's claims. Epic alleged that Google failed to retain chat messages between employees that it should have preserved while under a litigation hold. Exhibits presented by Epic seem to show that Google employees saw chats as a less formal way to communicate.
