COLUMBIA, S.C. (WACH) — Attorney General Alan Wilson has joined attorney generals from other states in sending a letter to YouTube and its parent company, Alphabet Inc.
The collective is raising concerns about what they describe as censorship of conservative speech.
“Companies do not have to agree with consumers or those who use their services,” Attorney General Wilson stated. “But disagreement doesn’t mean suppression and censorship of those consumers’ viewpoints.”
In the letter, the attorney generals cite a 2025 correspondence in which Alphabet acknowledged that Biden administration officials “conducted repeated and sustained outreach” regarding user-generated content tied to the COVID-19 pandemic.
