Google has announced a US$1 billion investment in Africa. It says the money will be focused on connectivity, supporting entrepreneurs and working with non-profits on the continent. The company has also said that it will ‘demonetize’ all content that makes misleading claims about climate change by not allowing any advertising alongside it. The platform will ‘no longer run advertising that contradicts well-established scientific consensus around the existence and causes of climate change.’
