    flood social media with dangerous anti-pharmaceutical,   
    anti-vaccination and anti-GMO pseudoscience that puts millions at   
    risk of contracting preventable illnesses."[17]   
       
    On February 22, 2017, Google   
    delisted about 140,000 pages on Natural News, removing it from   
    search results.[53]   
    It was returned soon after.[54]   
    The following year, on March 3, 2018, YouTube   
    removed Natural News' video channel for terms of service   
    violations, effectively removing its library of videos from the   
    site.[55]   
    The channel was subsequently reinstated and the videos returned.   
    In June 2019, Facebook removed Natural News from its   
    website for violating its policies against spam. Adams wrote on InfoWars   
    that his site was "permanently banned" from Facebook, and on The Gateway Pundit that the   
    ban was part of a conspiracy against his website.[56]   
       
    A 2020 study by researchers from Northeastern, Harvard, Northwestern and Rutgers universities found that   
    Natural News was among the top 5 most shared fake news domains in tweets   
    related to COVID-19, the others being The Gateway   
    Pundit, InfoWars, WorldNetDaily and Judicial Watch.[12]

    In 2011, Adams posted a report on Natural News which stated that   
    many blueberry food products did not contain   
    real blueberries.[57][58]   
       
    In 2013, Adams posted an article describing what he saw when he   
    examined Chicken McNuggets   
    under a microscope. He said in the article that the patterns he   
    saw included "dark black hair-like structures" and a round algae-like   
    object.[59][60]   
       
    In July 2014, Adams compared media outlets that wrote positively   
    about GMOs with Nazi Germany's   
    propagandists, calling them, "Monsanto collaborators who have   
    signed on to accelerate heinous crimes being committed against   
    humanity under the false promise of 'feeding the world' with toxic   
    GMOs." He continued with a statement that he set in boldface: "that it is   
    the moral right—and even the obligation—of human beings everywhere   
    to actively plan and carry out the killing of those engaged in   
    heinous crimes against humanity."[61][62]   
    A day after the post a website called "Monsanto Collaborator"   
    appeared online which listed the names of scientists and   
    journalists who allegedly collaborate with the bio industry; Adams   
    denied creating the website claiming that Monsanto set up the   
    website in order to frame him.[63]   
       
    In 2019, Natural News falsely claimed that wind turbines contribute more to climate change   
    than fossil fuels.[64]
