No one has the right to someone else’s private platform. Google is able to do as they wish.

A Congressperson can write a letter requesting that they form their algorithm in a way that does not intentionally spread misinformation for money. Google can do with that as they wish

why read on beyond having videos removed?

the method is immaterial

Are they social media sites that portray neutrality to the unsuspecting user? Your comparison of these entities escapes logic IMO?

The video isn’t removed, the recommendation is. As in it won’t appear in “watch next” or “you might like this”, not that it’s removed from the platform.

The videos are not being removed.

whitewash defense

from a position of power in govmnt she should not be pressuring anyone to remove or control info she doesnt agree with

she asked that they be removed.

“urged” ackshually

The ifnormation isn’t removed. It’s just not actively promoted in “you might like this”, and advertisers won’t pay to run their ads on that content.

It is a letter.

Google can do with it as they wish.

You misread. It’s fine, we all make mistakes.
