Climate coalition cites Twitter’s lack of clear policies to stop incorrect information and confusion from Musk takeover

A report ranking climate change misinformation gave Twitter (recently rebranded as X) only a single point out of a 21-point scorecard when assessing policies aimed at reducing inaccurate information – the worst out of five major tech platforms.

The Climate of Misinformation report by Climate Action Against Disinformation looked at Meta, Pinterest, YouTube, TikTok and Twitter for their content moderation policies and efforts to mitigate inaccurate information such as climate denialism. The group, which is made up of dozens of international climate and anti-disinformation organizations including Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth, released the report to draw attention towards climate misinformation on major platforms and makes the claim that big tech has become a “complicit actor” in accelerating the spread of climate denial.

      I heard on Zombie Twitter you should wash your toaster while it is plugged in the bath with you. Sounds like some good advice the left is too scared of. Maybe you should try it and stick it to those Liberuls?
