Thank you for the report. This is a response to Alphabet's continuous ban of my account and its more condescending and worse behaviors.

Alphabet now has not only continuously banned my account but also banned its YouTube sound from me. Its policies of banning speeches not to its liking are clearly against so-called freedom of speech. I hope that the House Judiciary Committee has listened to the voters' voices of appeal. [Mark Wain 09-26-2025]

Alphabet 现在不仅继续封禁我的账号，还禁止我使用其 YouTube 音频。它禁止其不喜欢的言论的政策，这显然违背了所谓的言论自由。我希望众议院司法委员会能够听取选民的诉求。[Mark Wain 09-26-2025]

My YouTube account has until now been banned for about 5 years since I promoted the Jan. 6 uprising or so. I don't know Alphabet will reinstate mine or not. But my opinion cannot be banned by tech. bros. I hope all of yours won't be banned either. [Mark Wain 09-23-2025]

YouTube will create a process to reinstate the accounts of content creators whose profiles were banned in recent years because they violated rules that limited misinformation about Covid-19 and the 2020 election.

The streaming platform revealed its plans to restore creators’ accounts on Tuesday in a letter to the House Judiciary Committee. The change comes as YouTube has started relaxing its content moderation rules, increasing the threshold for offending content and modifying rules on Covid misinformation.

The letter was submitted by Alphabet, YouTube’s parent company, in response to a lengthy investigation by Republicans into whether tech companies restricted speech on their platforms at the behest of the Biden administration. It was part of a broader attack by Republicans, which also included a lawsuit against the Biden administration for chilling speech online.

In the letter, Alphabet said that the streaming platform had faced pressure from the Biden administration to remove content that didn’t violate its policies. It said that such government pressure to police speech was “unacceptable and wrong” and that the company “has consistently fought against those efforts on free speech grounds.”

“The company has a commitment to freedom of expression,” said Daniel Donovan, a lawyer from King & Spaulding who wrote the letter for Alphabet. “This commitment is unwavering and will not bend to political pressure.”

The Google spokesman Jose Castaneda referred to the letter and declined to comment. The letter was earlier reported by Fox News.

YouTube, which has more than two billion users worldwide, said in its letter that it “values conservative voices on its platform and recognizes that these creators have extensive reach and play an important role in civic discourse.”

YouTube acknowledged government pressure to police speech at a time when Democrats and some Republicans have accused the Trump administration of pressuring media companies to curb speech on television. The Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr last week threatened ABC because of remarks the late-night host Jimmy Kimmel made about right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. ABC suspended Mr. Kimmel’s show hours later.

ABC said “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” will return to its airwaves on Tuesday.

汉译短评： 

我的 YouTube 【油管】账号自从我宣传2021年 1 月 6 日左右的起义活动以来，已经被封禁了大约五年。我不知道 Alphabet 会不会恢复我的账号。但我的观点不会被科技界的兄弟们封禁。我希望你们所有人的观点也不会被封禁。[Mark Wain 09-23-2025]
