Social Media Giants Must Combat Climate Change Disinformation

This petition to the CEOs of Facebook, TikTok, Google, YouTube and Twitter reads:

"Platforms owe it to their users and the planet to stop amplifying the climate disinformation that undermines our ability to combat the climate crisis. Social media companies like yours must take concrete steps in stopping climate change disinformation."

A large group of environmental and tech accountability organizations including Greenpeace, 350.org, Friends of the Earth, and Accountable Tech just called on prominent social media companies to take steps in regulating climate disinformation on their platforms.

This letter comes in the wake of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change deeming "climate disinformation a threat to the world's ability to effectively address [the planetary crisis]."

We all know that social media platforms are littered with disinformation – and that includes disinformation about the causes and solutions to the climate crisis. It’s past time for social media companies to step in and crack down on sources of blatant disinformation.
