On Wednesday, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) sent a letter to Google.
According to Business Insider the letter is about the company's deletion of some comments critical of China.
Comments using the phrases "communist bandit" or "50-cent party" in Chinese characters were deleted almost instantly from YouTube.
Though their English equivalents are not.
Hawley called the deletions "censorship."
He asked Google to explain how the problem came about and when it knew about the deletions.
Google says the deletions are accidental and that it rolled out a fix to the problem.
