Facebook is falling short on its pledge to crack down on climate misinformation, according to a new analysis from a British watchdog group.
The platform — whose parent company last year rebranded as Meta — promised last May that it would attach "informational labels" to certain posts about climate change in the U.S. and some other countries, directing readers to a "Climate Science Information Center" with reliable information and resources. (It launched a similar hub for COVID-19 information in March 2020).

This is essentially the case with many of such sites as engagement is the currency of the internet.

Factual statements may be addressed. A great deal of the discussion of climate is non scientific. Much of it is nothing more than expressing differences of opinion. Much more difficult to deal with that
