Google and YouTube announced Thursday that they will no longer allow content creators and advertisers to profit off content that contradicts mainstream views on climate change.
Beginning next month, Google and its subsidiary YouTube will no longer monetize ads or videos that go against “well-established scientific consensus around the existence and causes of climate change,” according to a memo from the company’s ad team.
Under the new policy, video creators will not receive a cut of revenue from views of those videos.
The move is one of the most sweeping policy changes from a big tech company regarding what content is allowed or encouraged on the platform.
Google says the change was driven by advertisers and video creators who “simply don’t want” their content to appear next to ads or videos that contain “climate change denial.”
But Google also said the policy is a bid “to better protect users from unreliable claims.” The company said the new policy will “strengthen the integrity of our advertising ecosystem.”
Google said it would use both human reviewers and artificial intelligence to enforce the policy.
YouTube banned anti-vaccine content over the course of the pandemic. The platform blamed employee shortages for its removal of a video by an Israeli scholar explaining military strikes in Gaza.
At the time, YouTube said, “We are temporarily relying more on technology to help with some of the work normally done by reviewers.”

For a liberal, anything that contradicts their agenda is “miss information.” The climate change movement has a long history of doing all that it can to silence the climate realists. Fifteen years ago they were finding out the speaking schedules of those who opposed their point of view and having the speeches canceled. Ideally, all points of view are considered and the one that makes the most sense prevails. However, the climate change movement is built on lies and the truth cuts through them like a hot knife through butter.
The Climate Change Dispatch is a web site that might lose its funding. We all need to donate to keep it going.
“Well established scientific consensus” is rubbish, since that is not how any science works. A “scientific truth or fact” may be revised or even discarded and is anyway related to many factors of the thought and sociological and psychological factors of any given time and place. A “well established” concept as history shows often becomes a superstition of the past. For Google to bring in finance is a joke: it exists because of it. There is no “consensus” at all, only a consensus of those who push to approved line and suppress the rest. Debate and exchange is abolished. As Einstein said, out of 100, 99 may be 2consensus”, but what happens if the remaining one proves correct? Examples: Copernicus and Galileo. And the medic who went against the “consensus” of the cause of stomach ulcers and proved correct?
This is truely a very concerning turn for the worst. I truly agree that it’s Modern day book burning, censorship with evil intentions.
Follow the money.
But of course they will only allow for the opinion of those who are true Global warming/Climate Change believers their Watermelons(Green on Outside Red Inside)its all part of the globalists plans after Brainwashing Greta and Dozens of Youth with this Eco-Malarkey then they wants to make its Global
Ah yes, the digital equivalent of burning the books. One of the early control methods used by Hitler to subjugate the Germans to the new order. Scarey to think of what comes next, though.
One more reason to leave the big G.
Being censored usually means that you are pushing the right buttons.
They can’t handle the truth.
