BERLIN (AP) — Twitter says it will no longer allow advertisers on its site who deny the scientific consensus on climate change, echoing a policy already in place at Google.
“Ads shouldn’t detract from important conversations about the climate crisis,” the company said in a statement outlining its new policy Friday.
The announcement coinciding with Earth Day came hours before the European Union agreed upon a deal requiring big tech companies to vet their sites more closely for hate speech, disinformation and other harmful content.
Twitter said it would provide more information in the coming months on how it plans to provide “reliable, authoritative context to the climate conversations” its users engage in, including from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The U.N.-backed science panel’s reports on the causes and effects of climate change provide the basis for international negotiations to curb climate change.
The company already has a dedicated climate topic on its site and offered what it described as “pre-bunks” during last year’s U.N. climate conference to counter misinformation surrounding climate change.

If it cannot be challenged it is not science.
The headline is a lie.
They’re not accepting ads that question the UN’s assertion of what climate change is based on their “scientific consensus”
This is pure, raw, censorship.
Climate Change (was global warming was global cooling) is not a proven science by any means and not factually based anymore than Covid “science” was.
Twitter bans anything that contradicts the phony science on climate change.
Twitter is not the scientific arbiter on what is correct or not. They have zero bona fide authority to determine this.
If they say they say they are basing it on scientists, they are admitting they are basing it on only one side of the scientific discussion and have already decided no other views will be allowed. They are destroying debate not preserving it.
We have always been at war with Oceania. Until we haven’t.
That would be the John F’n Kerry Kool-Aid Science™? Send me a private jet and an unlimited gas card, I’ll get right on that.
Ya’ll should try TruthSocial! If you signed up and haven’t been admitted yet, they just added a bazillion users overnight. It is worth the wait!!
Socialists pretty much agree on the climate change hoax. Wonder why...
Maybe twitter gets a ‘10%’, for each one. Maybe farcebook gets same, or more.
Twatter is not nor ever has been a free speech platform. And anyone who thinks it is is a blithering moron.

So, if Twitter had been around in the 17th Century, they would have banned Galileo.
Not sure why that repeated three times but oh well. It’s still true.
“What science?”
“Political science”
If you really want to know what is going on, look at the stuff you are not allowed to talk about. If you talked about the death camps in WW2 Germany, the government would deny their existence and then send you to one
It’s not contradicting “science”. Science isn’t a bunch of computer programs that output the graphs that the programmers put into them. Science starts with a hypothesis and rigorously rests it and comes to a conclusion based on the tests. Climate BS starts with the conclusion and works backward to alter the inputs and methods to support the forordained conclusion. Not science at all just complex lies.
Twitter says it will no longer allow advertisers on its site who deny the scientific consensus of their version of the not in the real world climate change
Why not? Twitter CEO - Parag Agrawal and Google CEO - Sundar Pichai. Both are foreigners from India who came here on student visas, IIRC.... The land of good and plenty and opportunity to oppress.
Musk will change all that. It’s just a matter of time..
Big tech bans anything that contradicts the global neo-communist putsch. Fakebook is banning users for posting the vid of Biden getting popped on by the bird. It’s “disinformation” and against “community standards.”
This is why big tech needs to be smashed. Every time the NASDAQ loses a thousand points an angel gets its wings.
