\u2014 Hacktivist Parody Google<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google is waging a war against skeptics because skeptic\u2019s have the truth on their side and they win debates too easily. How do we know? There are plenty of wrong people on the internet, and acres of misinformation, but Google is happy to feed those creators.  The Flat Earthers are not spreading fast on Youtube, they\u2019re not attracting millions of views. But no one needs to cut off their money supply because their arguments aren\u2019t persuasive. To stop those ideas from running amok, the world only needs free speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google announces:<\/strong> <\/a>  \u2026a new monetization policy for Google advertisers<\/a>, publishers<\/a> and YouTube creators<\/a> that will prohibit ads for, and monetization of, content that contradicts well-established scientific consensus around the existence and causes of climate change. 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google demonetizes content creators who deny climate change<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

by Ian Miles Cheong, Rebel News<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arrogance knows no bounds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tech giant claims it will be able to differentiate between content \u201cthat states a false claim as fact, versus content that reports on or discusses that claim.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who needs scientists anyhow \u2013just Google the truth instead of doing all those experiments?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s time for skeptics to hone their skills in satire and parody. Let\u2019s screw those algorithms!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For content creators who were relying on Youtube adverts, losing the monetization could kill the business, it\u2019s a cruel blow. Google\u2019s behaviour is grossly unfair and deceptive. It sold itself as a \u201cplatform\u201d deceived people into watching and sharing their creative talents, and on November 1 could wipe them out. But good talent can still find a way \u2014 not only are there other, better video homes, but it\u2019s so much better to get a business model that doesn\u2019t feed or rely on Google. My advice would be to connect with your audience, set up a blog or a website, and ask for help and donations. Use Youtube while you still can, to set up a list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does anyone believe the Google-excuse?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn recent years, we\u2019ve heard directly from a growing number of our advertising and publisher partners who have expressed concerns about ads that run alongside or promote inaccurate claims about climate change,\u201d said YouTube in its policy update notice. \u201cAdvertisers simply don\u2019t want their ads to appear next to this content. And publishers and creators don\u2019t want ads promoting these claims to appear on their pages or videos.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a company that specializes in harvesting data and placing customized adverts with a highly targeted audiences and they say they can\u2019t stop solar panel adverts showing up on climate skeptic sites?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the nub of it all, is the dangerous popularity of skeptics:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bloomberg reports that on YouTube, inaccurate videos about climate change received more than 21 million views<\/strong> and frequently ran ads, according to research in 2020 from Avaaz. The explosive report prompted members of Congress to admonish the tech giant, which proudly boasts about its environmental record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest censorship step shows how fragile the global warming movement has become. Google wouldn\u2019t be silencing skeptics if it wasn\u2019t losing the arguments. And Google wouldn\u2019t be losing if they had truth on their side. They have billions of dollars, control of almost 90% of all internet searches and support from governments, uni\u2019s, professors, the UN and the whole renewables industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the truth needs is a fair and open debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
