Majority of climate-denial content posted now does not violate YouTube's policy.

@arstechnica@mastodon.social they allow criminal fraud videos, so why not that?

@arstechnica@mastodon.social Same with FB. Obvious fakes, false news, misinformation, scams, etc reported. After a day or two 'does not violate our policies' is sitting in my message area. They don't care as long as they make a buck off it and the authorities cannot or will not do anything about it.

@arstechnica@mastodon.social All the more reason to NOT pay for YouTube Premium, and use a uBlock-based ad blocker when using YouTube.
