PragerU license plate banned!



Each year, officials at the Georgia Department of Revenue reject about 200 applications for personalized license plates they deem obscene, defamatory, profane…or “political.”

This means PragerU was censored by a state governmental agency—now “The State” is censoring PragerU!

Georgia decided that a license plate that reads “PRAGERU” was simply too dangerous for other drivers to see on the road. We haven’t heard anything this ridiculous since YouTube restricted our videos on The Ten Commandments.

Climate skeptic censored

Alan Moran

My monthly newsletter, Climate News, deals with the politics, economics and scientific developments around the world. Together with a brief commentary, graphs and charts it contains links to recent longer pieces. Over the past eight years there have been roughly 90 different climate news editions which are available on the site, Regulation Economics.

The hosting site, Wix, suddenly blocked the February newsletter as well as all previous newsletters.

We were told that the February newsletter was not compliant because it contains a link to an article by the Heartland Institute about Anthony Watts (of Watts up With That) and distinguished former NASA scientist Roy Spencer being demonetised by Google.

Wix said the account could only be reinstated if we removed the link, but that any further use of the link would result in a permanent ban.

One support officer said the problem is that Heartland is a spam site; another attributed the ban to our using the term ‘demonetise’. Upon further review, Wix rescinded its objection to the use of the link to Heartland and have restored business as usual.

What is clear is that a comment about Google seeking to prevent diverse views on climate change triggered Wix’s actions, doubtless at Google’s behest. Google, YouTube, Amazon, Facebook, and Twitter are all controlled by people who wish to prevent certain issues, especially on climate policy, being debated by those whose views they oppose.
