I'm not seeing the word "sorry" or any admission of wrongdoing.
"We suspended them for violating our community guidelines at the time, but now those guidelines have changed they can come back."
What happens when they inevitably change again? And what exactly is the point of Section 230 if YouTube takes editorial guidance from the government of the day?

Back in the early days of COVID, YouTube suspended me for stating what we know to be fact: masks don't prevent the transmission of COVID-19.
I'm glad to see YouTube is finally taking some accountability for its role in silencing those of us who questioned the official government narrative.

1/MUST-WATCH: Former YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki admits they removed over 1 million COVID videos — while coordinating directly with Biden & Fauci.
Even more disturbing: she doesn’t just defend the censorship, she pathologizes dissent — musing about whether “anti-vaxxers” should be psychoanalyzed for their behavior.
This wasn’t “content moderation.” It was government-directed censorship at mass scale — erasing science, silencing citizens, and rewriting reality
This was the May 2021 meeting where YouTube staged a so-called “Town Hall” with President Biden, Dr. Fauci, and hand-picked influencers.
Marketed as “conversation,” it was in truth a state-sanctioned propaganda event: the White House partnered with a private platform that was simultaneously banning dissenting voices, narrowing what Americans could see and hear to only government-approved talking points. This is not free speech — it is viewpoint discrimination directed by the state and enforced by Big Tech.
Events like this expose the architecture of a censorship regime where government power merges with corporate control to erase debate under the guise of “public health.”
The Constitution forbids the government from outsourcing its censorship to private actors, yet this is exactly what happened. What was presented as outreach was, in fact, an egregious violation of civil liberties — a calculated move in a global campaign to weaponize “disinformation” as a pretext for silencing dissent and manufacturing consent. https://blog.youtube/news-and-events/white-house-youtube-town-hall/

“…taking some accountability”?
Where was that? They didn’t apologize. They didn’t admit to any wrong doing.
They just blithely changed their policies and invited formerly banned people back as if nothing of note ever happened.
That’s not accepting accountability. More like an attempt to toss it down the memory hole and whitewash over the patch.
Rand’s not exactly coming off as a firebrand on this.

Banned creators would be fools to go back to Youtube.

Alex Jones just called YouTube's bluff, and they folded instantly.
After YouTube's parent company announced an end to political censorship, claiming previously banned creators were "welcome to go back," Jones put their new policy to the test. He launched a new channel in what was described as a real-world "stress test" of their commitment to free speech.
The result was a definitive exposé of hypocrisy. Gaining over 100,000 followers in mere hours, the channel's rapid growth demonstrated a clear public demand. Yet, within approximately 12 hours, YouTube abruptly terminated it, proving their "open doors" policy was a lie.
Their subsequent justification—calling it a limited "pilot program"—confirmed the entire announcement was a fraudulent public relations stunt designed to mislead the public and lawmakers. The tech oligarchs have shown their hand: their commitment to free speech is zero. The promise was freedom; the reality is the same old censorship.
