However, very weakly gauged symmetries seem global to an effective field theory expansion in powers of Newton's constant. We show that, at least for Einsteinian quantum gravity on AdS, such extremely weak gaugings are indeed in the Swampland: Consistency with AdS black hole thermodynamics requires the bulk gauge coupling $g^2$ not to vanish faster than $\\sim\\exp(\\ell^{d-1}/G)$, where $\\ell$ is the $AdS_{d+1}$ radius and $G$ is Newton's constant as we take the $G\\rightarrow0$ limit.
