ONE OF THE BIGGEST THREATS TO THE LIFE OF MANKIND AND OF OUR VERY DEAR AND UNIQUE PLANET TERRA IS NONE OTHER THAN THE....MISINFORMATION / DISINFORMATION /FAKE INFORMATION, THAT MISLEADS PUBLIC OPINION BY FALSLY DENYING POLLUTION, GLOBAL WARMING, SEVERE WEATHER AND DISASTROUS CLIMATE CHANGES!!!!
Deniying obvious severe weather, climate change etc., through Dis/Mis/information is a terrible plague of our times that "POLLUTES" both the classic mass-media and especially the internet and thus MANIPULATES PUBLIC OPINION!
On top of that an important segment of the entire wprld population is functionally illiterate (unable to grasp / understand and process/reason what they read or are told) therefore an easy prey to the manipulating propaganda promoting fake information on the non-existance of otherwise EXTREME weather catastrophes, climate change, global warming, forest fires, polar sheet melting, mountains glacier meeting, ocean level rise, floods, droughts, landslides!
There is a need for a MASSIVE GLOBAL DAILY, PERMANENT, PUBLIC FUNDED INFORMATION AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS ON EVERY MASS-MEDIA CHANNEL - TV, RADIO, INTERNET, MOBILE PHONE NETWORKS, PAYMENT NETWORKS, ETC ON THE CLIMATE CHANGES & GLOBAL WARMING DANGERS AND THREATS FOR THE HUMANITY!
I am really dissapointed that Elon Musk intends to charge all the users of "X" (former Twitter) while the respective social-media platform got the worst of the worst rating regarding the combating of climate change misinformation!!
PS I strongly recommend the reading of the article published by the reputable "The Guardian" dealing with Elon Musk X (Twitter) LOWEST SCORE on combating climate change misinformation as well as the report on climate change misinformation published by the "Climate Action Against Disinformation"!!!
(see links below)
=====
"...The Climate of Misinformation report by Climate Action Against Disinformation looked at Meta, Pinterest, YouTube, TikTok and Twitter for their content moderation policies and efforts to mitigate inaccurate information such as climate denialism.
The group, which is made up of dozens of international climate and anti-disinformation organizations including Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth
This report that is ranking climate change misinformation gave Twitter (recently rebranded as X) only a single point out of a 21-point (!!!!!!) scorecard when assessing policies aimed at reducing inaccurate information – the worst out of five major tech platforms.....
Twitter’s low rank in the survey was because it failed to meet almost any of the organization’s criteria for climate misinformation policies, which ranged from having clear and publicly available information on climate science to having clearly articulated policies on what actions the company will take against the spread of misinformation...."
