A campaign group has accused Facebook of systematically spreading climate change denial.
Stop Funding Heat, a campaign group that aims to counter online climate denial and misinformation, says the social media giant is directly spreading climate denial on their advertising platforms.
"Facebook is taking money in many occasions for content that is out and about climate denial." Sean Buchan, a researcher for Stop Funding Heat told The Cube, Euronews' social media newsdesk.
"This is how their entire business model works, they take money from advertisers to put in between what we call organic posts on the platform."
The group's
40-page study claims that there is no mention of climate misinformation in any of Facebook’s public policies and that existing policies are ineffective.
