YouTube Is Adding ‘Fact Checks’ to Videos that Question ‘Climate Change’

And so it begins: YouTube is now adding “fact checks” to videos which question the man-made global warming scare narrative.

According to Buzzfeed News:

YouTube is now adding fact checks to videos that question climate change, BuzzFeed News has confirmed, as a part of its ongoing effort to combat the rampant misinformation and conspiratorial fodder on its platform.

On July 9, the company added a blurb of text underneath some videos about climate change, which provided a scientifically accurate explainer. The text comes from the Wikipedia entry for global warming and states that “multiple lines of scientific evidence show that the climate system is warming.”

The real issue here, of course, is that, like Big Tech’s near-blanket banning of Alex Jones, it’s the thin end of the wedge.

We know that, given half the chance, Big Tech would like to go much, much further in its censorship of viewpoints which run counter to the prevailing Silicon Valley ‘progressive’ narrative.

Who decides for us all what the "facts" are?

Climate change is real just not man made and taxing the citizens to make the rich richer wont fix it.

Climate always changes and it's not our fault, it's Nature.

What are "facts" and just what censors will decide for all of us what facts are good facts and what are bad facts, and what will be declared "false" and by what standard?

Youtube, Facebook and all others who wish to enact this witch hunt that they can in no way manpower the effort, will die a short death as soon as someone opens up the original alternative site.

Watching youtube and face book and paying Patreon means that those two are stealing all the ad revenue instead of paying the sources of their revenue.

Therefore, we should all move away from youtube and Facebook, as they have become thieves.

We need a few new channels who are willing to be fair and open like it used to be. '

YT and FB have become the MSM who we all tried to escape from.
