Funny, they call us Authoritarians and Fascism, but, they’re the ones doing all they can to shut down opposing Free Speech
Why Platforms Don’t Catch Climate Misinformation — and How to Change That
Climate misinformation presents a troubling paradox: while most Americans believe that climate change is real and human-caused, online misinformation continues to erode public trust in climate science. Many platforms lack specific policies addressing climate disinformation, and even those with policies in place struggle to enforce them effectively. Why do platforms fail to adequately address this problem, and what would it take to change?
Why? Because their job is to allow the free exchange of information, as long as it is not illegal stuff, like child p0rnography (which Democrats are fine with), not to censor people, for the most part. There are certain websites which certainly won’t allow certain points of view, like, say, The Democratic Underground (yes, it is still around). Heck, they barely tolerate squishy Democrats.
The problem is structural. Trust and safety teams typically operate within frameworks that triage based on three criteria common to risk management across domains: imminence of harm, likelihood of occurrence, and severity of impact.
What if platforms/sites do not want to take the cult view? Or be neutral? Hey, what if those “trust and safety teams” where made up of conservatives knocking down leftist content? Leftists would be OK with that, right?
TikTok offers an instructive case study. The platform maintains a policy stating that climate misinformation will be removed or suppressed from recommendation algorithms. In practice, enforcement seemingly remains minimal — not due to technical limitations, but because climate content moderation lacks the crisis urgency, institutional backing and political consensus that drive resource allocation within trust and safety organizations.
Or, because in practice they really do not care. Let’s skip ahead
Rather than pursuing a single solution, seminar participants identified several leverage points that could collectively shift platform behavior:
Regulatory action, particularly in the EU: Platforms operate globally and must satisfy the most stringent regulatory environment. European regulations on climate-related claims and content governance create compliance requirements that can have spillover effects in other jurisdictions. The United Kingdom’s Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act now allows sanctions for greenwashing without litigation — a model that could extend to platform-hosted content.
Surprise! They want lots and lots of laws and regulations to shut views down. Not that I am surprised in the least.
And then they want to go after advertisers, harassing and badgering them in the way Leftists tend to do, and a bunch of other stuff. But, it’s using government that should be concerning.
Wlliam keeps typing lies: “like child p0rnography (which Democrats are fine with)”
He is getting nervous about his savior.
Isn’t it PedoDon suppressing the investigations into his pedophile best buddy, Epstein?
Isn’t it PedoDon treating convicted child sex trafficker and friend Ghislaine Maxwell like a house guest?
Our “president” is handing out pardons like lollipops to trick-or-treating children. He’ll pardon Maxwell in exchange for her silence on the matter. PedoDon likes underage teen girls – 13-17. Just ask Ivanka.
Here’s what AI tells us about global warming…
“Yes, global warming is real, and the scientific consensus is overwhelming: over 99% of peer-reviewed climate science studies agree that climate change is happening and is primarily caused by human activities. Evidence includes the documented rise in global temperatures, which have increased about 1^C (1.7^F) since the late 19th century, with most of the warming occurring in the last 40 years. This is driven mainly by the burning of fossil fuels, which releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere.”
Morons on the American right believe/feel many (most?) things that are just not true. They believe in gods/demons/miracles/angels/prayer (and NOT that these delusions are mental disease), they deny that CO2 can cause the Earth to warm, they feel that transgenderism is a mental disease (yet the transgendered are real, gods are not, LOL), they believe that white people are inherently superior (morally, mentally) to non-whites, they have an irrational religious-like devotion to dishonest”strong-men” “leaders” (Putin, trump, Kim, Xi etc), they believe/feel vaccines don’t work, they believe that science is “rigged”, they believe LGBTQ persons are inherently immoral/inferior, they believe women do NOT deserve bodily autonomy, they believe minorities receive too many benefits!, they believe more guns = fewer crimes, they believe WE have the world’s best healthcare, they believe that liberals run an international pedophile ring.
Conservatism has driven and defended the worst injustices and societal poisons that have plagued the U.S. since its founding. To name just a few: slavery, racial segregation, oppression of women, and discrimination against LGBTQ people.
Hasn’t Trump done his best to stifle all dissent from any media?
Hasn’t he called for the arrest of comedians?
I can’t recall you objecting to that
To cement Trump’s status as an elite he bought the beauty pageant Miss Teen International. The corporate sponsors eventually made him sell it because of too many complaints from the professional al chaperones about Donny perving in the dressing room of the children. And later even bragging about it
Teach mentioning/accusing “Democrats” as pedos? Not a really good point to bring up in any group chat
