Which statement is true about YouTube’s policy change on election misinformation?

On June 2, 2023, YouTube announced that it was reversing its election integrity policy established in December 2020. The company said that leaving the policy in place may have the effect of “>curtailing political speech without meaningfully reducing the risk of violence or other real-world harm.”> The updated policy doesn’t change YouTube’s other misinformation rules, such as those that disallow content aiming to mislead voters about the time, place, means, or eligibility requirements for voting. Media watchdog groups and experts criticize the policy change. They say it could spread more election misinformation and disinformation on the platform.
