<\/a> YouTube is turning a buck from ads on videos that are spreading misinformation about climate change<\/strong>, Euronews<\/a> reports, citing a new report by the Climate Action Against Disinformation and the Center for Countering Digital Hate. The report found 200 climate disinformation videos on the platform that had ads by major brands like Tommy Hilfiger, Nike, and Hyundai running on them.<\/p>\n

What kind of misinformation is being propagated? <\/strong>The videos\u2019 content ranged from outright climate denial, skepticism about the models and work of climate-focused organizations, the denial of a link between carbon generation and global warming, to conspiracy theories associating climate science with \u201ccommunist\u201d, \u201canti-white\u201d and \u201canti-Western\u201d agendas. The content scrutinized by the study collectively garnered some 74 mn views as of late April, Euronews noted.<\/p>\n

Google\u2019s failure to combat disinfo: <\/strong>The presence of ads on the videos cited in the report \u2014 found by searching terms like \u201cclimate hoax\u201d and \u201cclimate scam\u201d \u2014 is in direct violation of Youtube's policy banning adverts on content \u201ccontradicting authoritative scientific consensus on the existence of and causes behind climate change.\u201d The reports also found that nearly 63% of \u201cpopular climate denial articles still carry Google ads,\u201d the news outlet writes. In 2021, YouTube\u2019s parent company Google said<\/a> it would ban \u201cads for, and monetisation of, content that contradicts well-established scientific consensus around the existence and causes of climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Problems with the terms of service:<\/strong> Youtube has a very narrow definition of what it considers climate disinformation, according to the report. \u201cWe need more robust, coordinated and proactive strategies to deal with the scale of the threat to platforms,\u201d the news outlet quotes the researchers as saying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
