...but what's the rationale behind banning "climate change"?
I checked for more info on this, and it seems like they really did ban the phrase "climate change".
> According to Patel, a Hulu representative called his campaign notifying them that the 30-second ad violated an “unwritten Hulu policy” related to “sensitive” content in political ads shortly after it was submitted to the platform on June 30th.
> “Hulu demanded we remove footage of Jan. 6 and the word ‘climate change’ from our ad as they were deemed ‘sensitive,’” Patel said on Twitter Wednesday.
> To appease Hulu, Patel’s campaign replaced the ad’s mention of “climate change” with “democracy” and replaced footage of the January 6th riots at the Capitol with images of protesters holding QAnon signs. That version of the ad was sent to Hulu on July 1st and approved on July 5th.

In both these articles Hulu repeatedly refuses to comment, which is unfortunate. I'd like to know why they don't want people to say "climate change" in political ads.
- nerdjon 4y agoWether we like it or not, climate change has turned into a major political issue. We have a party of science deniers. Wether or not most Americans believe this is different from wether or not an entire party has made it a cornerstone of their policies. Which again goes back to my original thinking, that they are just blocking it across the board instead of allowing both sides to voice their opinion. Especially if they strongly disagree with that side. Given the block is just "climate change" I am inclined to think that is the case here.
