If some evidence was proffered that Steve Jobs actually did contribute to creating Linux in 1978, as a user, I would much prefer to see that, than to have Google hide it from me because it's against the "current consensus opinion". A policy like this just seems like a recipe for disastrously persistent misinformation.

Okay so just to be clear you along with OP are both climate change deniers?

It’s an anti climate change ad , they are removing blatantly wrong information. It’s not like it’s censoring legitimate research or something, it’s removing garbage ads.

Damm.

That's not what the article says:

>As a result, content that calls into question or denies the scientific consensus around anthropogenic climate change will not have Google advertising alongside it. In addition, Google will no longer run any advertising that "contradicts well-established scientific consensus around the existence and causes of climate change."
