YouTube ‘reckless’ to stop policing false claims on election fraud: Biden campaign

US President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign said on Tuesday that a decision by Alphabet Inc’s YouTube to stop policing false claims about fraud in the 2020 race is “reckless” and could lead to violence.

“YouTube’s reckless and irresponsible decision will invite further democratic decay and potential violence, and we urge them to reconsider this policy,” Biden campaign spokesperson Kevin Munoz said in a statement.

YouTube said on Friday the platform would stop removing content that might have spread false claims related to US presidential elections in 2020 and before.
