Some Facebook employees demand censorship of climate change skepticism

Facebook has come under criticism for not extending its mass censorship of topics related to Covid, which was in full swing in 2020, to another issue that is actively promoted by a part of the political scene in the US: climate change.

Gizmodo is publishing a series of leaked Facebook documents that it calls “Facebook Papers,” and chastises the tech giant for not treating “climate change denial” with the same censorship vigor as the pandemic, backing up this claim by citing the content of those documents.

And according to them, (some) Facebook employees were the ones unhappy with the way the company’s higher-ups were handling the issue, demanding that “climate change misinformation” be tackled more aggressively.
