Anti-Science? Dr. Roy Spencer Says Google Demonetized His Website
NewsBusters ^ | 1/17/2022 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 01/17/2022 6:29:25 AM PST by JV3MRC

A meteorologist known for smacking down the sensationalism of eco-fanatics said his website was demonetized by censorship giant Google.

University of Alabama, Huntsville Principal Research Scientist Dr. Roy Spencer posted a blog on his website Jan. 7 saying that he had been demonetized for “unreliable and harmful claims.” This meant, according to Spencer, that he could “no longer generate revenue to support the website using the Google Adsense program.” Spencer noted that he was getting “Google warnings for a couple months now about ‘policy violations’, but nowhere was it listed what pages were in violation, and what those violations were.” Spencer said he was demonetized after there was reporting in October 2021 of Google’s new policy that would prohibit so-called “climate deniers from being able to monetize their content on its platforms via ads or creator payments.”

If Trump takes office again I hope to God he takes down these tech Nazis, enough is enough. I know he’s suing them already but that’s not going to do anything

They are even starting their own in house ad program...

I suspect over time they will offer it to 3rd party websites like they do with their cloud hosting

I think Google and some of the other tech giants are spelling demonetized wrong. They’re really demon-izing real scientists. It seems to me that Dr. Spenser has a real chance at suing Google for libel for writing what they wrote. Given their worldwide voice chamber, Spencer could be getting a lot of money from this.

The Thought Police are out of control. If there’s a limit to what the public will tolerate, they’re going to find it. Of course, there realistically may not be a limit.

I started a new Twitter account and incredibly they haven’t banned me yet. I just posted this to her......

“Are you one of those tech Nazis who gets people banned because you’re a coward who refuses to debate? Wow how impressive. You’re nothing but a child.”

Scroll down a bit on this link, I’m Larry......

You think: “Oh, so what if this platform caters mostly to child-molesting weirdos, drug gangs, and hookers? They’re not going to mind an honest person like me using their facility as long as I only promote my own stuff and act like I don’t see the freak show ongoing in the background! I’m a good paying customer and I will add some legitimacy to this site which is really run by voyeurs and criminals, for voyeurs and criminals! They will love and tolerate me!”

Haha, that is never the case. You are getting in the way and the criminals who run and finance the site don’t like you, cabron. They never will.

The ones I really like are the ones who KNOW youtube, facebook, etc., are purely by and for the criminals and freaks (they’re the ones who pay the most) and so, you know, they never say a word about it. They come up with absurd rationales for staying in that spot, pimping their books and whatnot, that would be funny if we, having been banned from said platforms, could easily read any of it.

Instead, they pick someone the freaks hate and target that person, who then becomes persona non grata to “conservatives” on whatever platform you’re talking about. Oh, look! We created a monster hated by liberals and conservatives alike! Aren’t we special?! Don’t you just love us?

(Six months later) HEY, YOUTUBE!!! WHY ARE YOU BANNING ME???!!!!!

“Climate change” is a big item for the freaks - that’s part of the rationale for human, drug, and firearms trafficking. Which “conservatives” and “scientists” are supporting by staying so heavily involved and invested in these platforms.

I’m having fun with that dingbat, my God she is in the single digit area when it comes to IQs. She thinks “China” is a race so I posted this.....

“Uh, China is not a race. It’s the name of a country. And why are you defending a country currently committing genocide and one that released a virus that so far has killed 5 million people worldwide? Nice priorities there, too bad the Nazis didn’t have you around in the 1940s”

Here is their new Video with their goals..
It seems to be working because they are getting lots of ads of sites they don’t like

Never call them “fact checkers”, ever. They are Opinion Checkers. Even admitted it in court. And, in reality that is all they are, checking to make sure that what is posted matches the communists opinions of what they want the truth to be. The are de facto Propagandists, Censors.

I just posted this, incredible I haven’t been banned yet..

“Lies? Insurrection? Have you heard of Joe Biden? CNN? MSNBC? Antifa? The Russia collusion hoax? The difference between conservatives and people like you is that conservatives want to debate. You don’t. You censor because you know you would lose your ass in a debate every time.”

When I read these stories I always wonder, who does Google have on their staff qualified to even question someone like Spencer? Why doesn’t this person come forward and explain where Spencer is wrong? (This is rhetorical.)

Doctor Roy Spencer was Rush Limbaugh’s official climatologist.

Why? Twitter should be cut off to wither away and die. Any effort to push back against their obvious partisanship only feeds them more traffic.

As non Leftists make our own platforms we need an effective alternative to Google Adsense, or this will be happening more and more.
