il bello è che danno prova evidente del fatto che le piattaforme social già ne fanno di ogni per silenziare il dissenso
la nuova democrazia!
This report demonstrates how New Denial narratives have risen in the last five years. All digital platforms should heed these findings. Major platforms including Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and X must evaluate their own platforms for the prevalence of New Denial content and review their policies toward climate change denial, particularly those that permit the monetization and amplification of New Denial.
Currently, serious gaps exist in the policies of these platforms toward climate change. Meta’s Instagram and Facebook leave it up to third-party fact checkers to identify posts and advertisements that deny the existence of climate change, merely removing advertisements and limiting the reach of content after they have been flagged.90 TikTok’s policy is restricted to removing Old Denial content and does nothing to address the New Denial. 91 X has no official policy towards content or advertising that pushes Old Denial or New Denial claims.92
To support the global efforts to avert climate disaster, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and X should all demonetize and de-amplify New Denial content. Demonetizing climate denial removes the economic incentives underpinning its creation and protects advertisers from bankrolling harmful content. Moreover, de-amplifying climate denial limits its reach and visibility, allowing time for fact-checking and other protective measures to be applied where content is clearly contrary to the well-established scientific consensus on climate change.
