Twitter announced on Earth Day that decided to remove any ads on the platform that contain so-called “misinformation” about climate change.

The Washington Post reported that the platform said the removed ads “contradict the scientific consensus on climate change.”

"We recognize that misleading information about climate change can undermine efforts to protect the planet," Twitter said of the decision. "In the coming months, we’ll have more to share on our work to add reliable, authoritative context to the climate conversations happening on Twitter."

The new policy only applies to monetized ads.

Twitter is not the only social media platform to take action against climate change “deniers.”

Pinterest announced earlier in the month that it would remove content and ads that contained “misinformation” about climate change. Sarah Bromma, Pinterest’s Head of Policy, said of the decision:

Lots of “alleged” smart folks have bought in to the lie. Paid off well for Elon.

When 9 out of 10 scientists are wrong, it's still consensus.

“The arctic ice cap will be gone by 2020
We have only 8 years left
Time is running out
The arctic is screaming”
We have to give poor countries trillions of dollars or we are doomed.”
That’s some disinformation that should be banned on twitter.

Double post hammered home your sentiment. If people don’t like something, just don’t buy it. Same goes for the hollyweird circus and twat and farcebook. Stop using the products. Bit more complicated with google octopus, but doable

Who decides that it’s “misinformation”? The Indians? The Chinese? The Pakis? The Haitians? The Hondurans? ANYONE who works for High Tech? Clowns with goofy college diplomas that can’t get them a real job?
