Social networks that have restricted ClimateState

• Twitter/X possibly restricted account
• Facebook limited traffic to our page
• Facebook halted monetization

It started around 2017, and probably includes all U.S. based social networks. Very likely due to the U.S. government – (who else?), which could come down to adding our domain to a deplatforming listing. And it highlights how free speech is a fragile good, and no longer upheld by the United States. The reason may be our success story on YouTube – among the most viewed channels for climate topics up until the meddling began.

Today, YouTube is still a mayor (the largest?) source for climate denial, and earns money from promoting lies, while global warming continues, and accelerates.

You can support us on Patreon or by Paypal donations. Your support goes towards running the website, keeping our existing videos on demand online, or the hiring of authors for articles.
