Comment on Twitter Ranked Dead Last on Climate Misinformation Scorecard

Twitter has gone to shit since Elon bought it, so I’m not surprised. Scientists are getting harassed off the platform and the moderation team was gutted, so of course misinformation is starting to run rampant.

There have been no policy changes on climate misinformation since Musk bought twitter. I get everyone here loves to hate him but this is a dumb article designed to get clicks by an organization that wants people to be banned from internet platforms for “climate misinformation”

Policy’s one thing, how/whether it’s applied is another.

So yeah, there has been “no change”…in other words, climate denialism is free to proliferate on TwittX, and proliferate it has.
Not sure why you place climate misinformation in quotes, it is indeed a thing, but personally I prefer “denier lies”.

When has the appropriate response to people being stupid to ban being stupid?

No.
You’re conflating stupidity with harm.
IDGAF if you want to be stupid. However, if you’re feeding people lies and telling them it’s the truth, that’s not stupidity, that’s actual and lasting harm.
