"We repeatedly heard from [climate experts] that climate misinformation, like climate denial narratives, is causing real harm," Pinterest head of policy Sarah Bromma told CNN Business. "That type of harm fits into our existing misinformation framework, which is that we take action on false or misleading action that may harm Pinners' or the public's well-being, safety or trust."- Sarah Bromma

Social media platforms are increasingly facing scrutiny for their role in the spread of climate change misinformation. In November, more than 200 climate scientists, activists, and organizations fighting disinformation signed an open letter addressed to the heads of Facebook (FB), Instagram, Google (GOOGL GOOGLE), Twitter (TWTR), Pinterest, and Reddit, calling on them to implement climate misinformation policies similar to their "robust Covid-19" policies.

Let's help each other hand in hand to save our Mother Earth by mitigating misinformation. Let your awareness be the key to saving our Earth.

"The rise of “fake news” and the proliferation of doctored narratives that are spread by humans and bots online are challenging publishers and platforms. Those trying to stop the spread of false information are working to design technical and human systems that can w**d it out and minimize how bots and other schemes spread lies and misinformation." - Pew Research Center

UY MGA KA-CHECKMOSA KWENTO KA NAMAN DYAN!

Fake news isn't a new thing. It is primarily due to the fact that fake news is simple to make, spreads rapidly, and is easily consumed in our 24-hour news cycle. With the expansion of the Internet comes an increase in the prevalence of fake news and rumors, and consequently an increase in the number of victims. It is widely held and understood that information obtained over the Internet is untrustworthy, despite the fact that it is gaining more and more believers every day and at every instant.

If you have been a victim of false information, please share your story with us.

While it is the internet that serves as the medium for spreading malicious information, in today’s digital age; disinformation can still spread offline, ‘rumours’ are some type of way in which such information can spread maliciously.

Online and offline, we must help stop the spread of false statements. ‘Education’? Let’s pass it on.

On whom do you prefer to rely for information? Journalists? Influential celebrities? Parents? Friends?

You've probably heard about the damaging and harmful consequences brought by the proliferation of false information. If not, please see our previous post.

What is the importance of ‘fact-checking’ in the face of this information disaster?

The flow of information never stops, and we are generally aware that what ends up in audience reach isn't always factual. As a response, educating one another on the significance of fact-checking may help to minimize the spread of harmful and malicious information. Vigilance is the best defense we have against the growing threat of an infodemic. Examine whether the existing knowledge you've gathered elsewhere is authentic. Remember that it is not an offense if you initially believe false information unless you continue to turn a blind eye while being fully informed that you are misguided.
