> YouTube has a policy about not questioning the results of previous elections.

Such an absurd and institutionally biased policy, the USA has on many occasions in the last decade vigorously endorsed the outcomes of clearly rigged elections as a matter of policy. Iraq and Afghanistan come to mind.

Will big tech remove valid accusations of ballot stuffing because it aligns with US policy?

Don't worry. If the US political party that YouTube employees favor loses the next election, this rule will be gone.
yes, they even flagged the Tom Scott video about eletronic voting with the following warning: "The Brazilian electronic voting system allows the exercise of citizenship with greater security. The ballot box was developed to compute votes safely and confidentially, meeting the demand and specific characteristics of Brazil."

So eletronic voting is good or bad depending on what the candidates are.
