Comment on Twitter Ranked Dead Last on Climate Misinformation Scorecard

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.

Twitter chose Earth Day to announce it will ban advertisements that deny the scientific consensus on climate crisis.

Note: ads, not user tweets.

Same year : theverge.com/…/elon-musk-twitter-climate-misinfor…

There have been more tweets and retweets “using climate-sceptic terminology” in 2022 than in any other year since Twitter’s founding in 2006,

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.

    It’s not with intent if they truly believe it.
