In a content we shared with you in the past, we talked about a new decision taken by YouTube. As part of this decision, the company completely prohibited opposition to any vaccine on the platform. Now, a similar situation has occurred. Google and YouTube have completely shelved the possibility of monetizing content that denies climate change.
According to the statements made by the company, if climate change is denied or claims based on non-scientific foundations are defended in the shares made on YouTube, the option to make money for that content will not be possible. Similarly, ads on Google will be banned. The company says that the decision taken is wide-ranging, and that despite all that has happened, everything that rejects climate change is now banned.
How will Google track the opposition to climate change?
Mentioning the details of the new application in its blog post, the company states that it will both receive assistance from artificial intelligence and that employees will be engaged. In other words, the videos uploaded to YouTube and the ads to be placed on Google will be examined with great care by the employees themselves. In addition, the notifications made by users will now be more important. If climate change is rejected in the submitted reports, that content and advertisements will also be directly banned.
Google’s new move after the anti-vaccine decision is a clear indication that the company has made radical changes in advertising and monetization. Technology editors think that Google is thinking more broadly on this issue, and that similar decisions can be made on different controversial issues in the future.
