(Cindy Harper) Twitter has updated its policies to ban ads that promote climate denial, as part of an effort to fight climate change “misinformation.”
by Cindy Harper, April 24th, 2022
“We believe that climate denialism shouldn’t be monetized on Twitter, and that misrepresentative ads shouldn’t detract from important conversations about the climate crisis,” the company said in a blog post. “We recognize that misleading information about climate change can undermine efforts to protect the planet.”
The new policy bans ads that contradict the “scientific consensus” on climate change.
Twitter will rely on information from the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to determine which ads violate its policy.
In recent years, online platforms have come under fire for allowing the spread of climate change “misinformation.”
They have responded by introducing climate change misinformation labels and information hubs where users can get accurate information about climate change.
Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
