Google and YouTube on Thursday announced a new policy that prohibits climate deniers from being able to monetize their content on its platforms via ads or creator payments.
Why it matters: It's one of the most aggressive measures any major tech platform has taken to combat climate change misinformation.
“This includes content referring to climate change as a hoax or a scam, claims denying that long-term trends show the global climate is warming, and claims denying that greenhouse gas emissions or human activity contribute to climate change.”
Ads and monetization will still be allowed to run alongside other climate-related topics, like public debates on climate policy, impacts of climate change, and new research around the issue.
Google said it’s making these changes in response to frustration from advertisers and content creators about their messages appearing alongside climate denialism.
“Advertisers simply don’t want their ads to appear next to this content. And publishers and creators don’t want ads promoting these claims to appear on their pages or videos,” the company said.
Google and Youtube, prohibit free speech.
No dissent allowed! Get in line, bend over, and LIKE IT!
If I have to go to YT I use the Vanced app. Cuts ALL of the adverts.
They’ll just put it on Bitchute and Rumble.
I guess they should include all of the silly predictions and propaganda that is demonstrably false.
Now to compose some anti-global-warming jingles for recording on Rumble.
“Google” and “YouTube” do nothing. Identifiable individuals do.
Goebbels never got a better deal.
First they came for the vaxx hesitant. Then they came for the climate deniers. Then they came for parents opposing certain subjects being forced on their children..... Shall we go on? 👹
Old-time liberal: I do not like that content. So I will not look at it.
Modern liberal: I do not like that content. So no one must look at it.
Hmm...that “modern liberal” sounds less like a liberal, and more like a fascist.
So unless you believe in and advocate for voodoo science, you are blocked out. Once again we see how Marxism works in the technology age.
I will admit that the Earth has been warming for 20,000 years.
Does that make me a “climate denier?”
And they close the noose on free speech.
Communism intensifies.
Good.
This will hopefully accelerate the destruction of these Big Tech bigots.
Rumble, gab, other platforms exist. Let’s not the liars on the left win.
? Where is that?
“I hate that phrase; it means absolutely nothing. Nobody denies there is a climate.”
They’re trying to conjure up images of “Holocaust deniers’, suggesting that anyone who challenges their narrative is ignorant, bigoted and dangerous. That’s *their* ignorant, bigoted and dangerous point of view, anyway.
