The Deplatforming of ClimateState
Basically all U.S. social networks have applied restrictions or complete bans to ClimateState.com – a science website.
List of social networks that have banned ClimateState
- BlueSky
- YouTube
List of social networks that have restricted ClimateState
- Twitter/X possibly restricted account
- Facebook limited traffic to our page
- Facebook halted monetization
The organized actions started around 2016/2017, and probably includes all U.S. based social networks. Very likely originates from the U.S. government, which could come down to adding our domain to a deplatforming listing. It shows 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 begun.
Today, YouTube is still the largest source for climate denial, and earns money from promoting the lies, global warming continues, and actions are still insufficient to tackle the problem.
Our hope is that a European based YouTube alternative will eventually emerge.
