Twitter bans ads that defy climate change science
Twitter, yesterday, announced the ban on ads that deny climate change science.
Twitter’s announcement came on ‘World Earth Day’ as it tried to reject an unwanted takeover bid by billionaire Elon Musk, who had said he thought people should be able to say pretty much whatever they wanted on the platform.
Twitter’s Global Sustainability Manager, Casey Junod, in a blog post, said, “Misleading advertisements on Twitter that contradict the scientific consensus on climate change is prohibited, in line with our inappropriate content policy.
“We believe that climate denialism shouldn’t be monetised on Twitter, and that misrepresentative ads shouldn’t detract from important conversations about the climate crisis.”
