This is funny since Twitter denies the science facts it doesn’t like, but lets face it, Twitter is a private company and can do what it wants, so if a person doesn’t like it, find another platform, but the only problem with that is all the other platforms have the same political ideology at their core as Twitter does. Let’s also face the facts that really there is no science anymore on climate change, unfortunately that has changed into political opinions, which drive scientific findings on both sides of the issue, and it is a huge mistake to ban such content, as it will come back on Twitter…save us Elon! As reported by the AP:
Twitter said it would provide more information in the coming months on how it plans to provide ‘reliable, authoritative context to the climate conversations,’ meaning censorship
BERLIN (AP) — Twitter says it will no longer allow advertisers on its site who deny the scientific consensus on climate change, echoing a policy already in place at Google.
“Ads shouldn’t detract from important conversations about the climate crisis,” the company said in a statement outlining its new policy Friday.
There was no indication that the change would affect what users post on the social media site, which along with Facebook has been targeted by groups seeking to promote misleading claims about climate change.
The announcement coinciding with Earth Day came hours before the European Union agreed upon a deal requiring big tech companies to vet their sites more closely for hate speech, disinformation, and other harmful content.
Twitter said it would provide more information in the coming months on how it plans to provide “reliable, authoritative context to the climate conversations” its users engage in, including from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The U.N.-backed science panel’s reports on the causes and effects of climate change provide the basis for international negotiations to curb climate change.
The company already has a dedicated climate topic on its site and offered what it described as “pre-bunks” during last year’s U.N. climate conference to counter misinformation surrounding climate change.
