</div><div>BRONSON WINSLOW</div><div>CONTRIBUTOR</div><div><b>October 04, 2022</b></div><div>A coalition of environmental advocacy groups has requested that the CEO’s of major social media platforms stop the spread of “climate disinformation” by censoring user posts, according to a Tuesday letter.</div><div>
</div><div>Addressed to the CEOs of Facebook, TikTok, Google, YouTube, Twitter and Pinterest, the letter claims that climate disinformation should be censored because it “undermines” the government’s ability to efficiently and effectively respond to the climate. The coalition asserted that social media companies are directly responsible for “amplifying and perpetuating” disinformation and should be completely transparent to show the “exact extent” of damage done.</div><div>
</div><div>Social media platforms will be forced to follow the guidelines of the coalition following the approval of the Digital Services Act (DSA), according to the letter. The coalition urges the platforms to “fulfill their obligations” and agree to its terms before the DSA takes effect.</div><div>
</div><div>The platforms are urged to “commit to including climate disinformation as a separately-acknowledged category in its reporting and content moderation policies in and outside of the EU,” the letter said. “More specifically, we urge platforms to commit to recognizing climate disinformation as a specific reason within the statement required under DSA Article 15(1), and include data on content moderation decisions related to climate disinformation as stated under Article 23.”</div><div>
</div><div>The platforms “owe it to their users and the planet” to stop amplifying climate disinformation that undermines the coalitions’ ability to combat the climate crisis, the letter said. The letter ended by informing each CEO that a written response and signature is required after conforming to the coalitions’ new standards.</div><div>Friends of The Earth did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.</div><div>

</div><div>RE: It’s Time for Platforms to Count the Climate </div><div>
</div><div>The climate crisis has become increasingly apparent as the July heat wave across Europe broke records in Spain, and we saw deadly floods in eastern Kentucky destroy local communities and wildfires burning from France to California. Unfortunately, the spread of climate disinformation undermines governments’ ability to efficiently and effectively respond. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has even named climate disinformation as a threat to the world’s ability to effectively address climate change. The UN Secretary General António Guterres recently mentioned the threat of misinformation, proliferated by social media companies, in a recent General Assembly speech and tweet. Social media companies bear responsibility for their role in amplifying and perpetuating climate disinformation but transparency, that would quantify the exact extent, has been lacking from all platforms. The Digital Services Act has passed in the EU, and its obligations for platforms will take effect very soon. We’re writing to ask platform leaders to fulfill obligations set forth in the DSA, and to commit to including climate disinformation as a separately-acknowledged category in its reporting and content moderation policies in and outside of the EU. More specifically, we urge platforms to commit to recognizing climate disinformation as a specific reason within the statement required under DSA Article 15(1), and include data on content moderation decisions related to climate disinformation as stated under Article 23. Platforms owe it to their users and the planet to stop amplifying the climate disinformation that undermines our ability to combat the climate crisis. We call on your companies to implement these actions as soon as possible and request a written response addressed to the signatories below. </div><div>
