Social network assessment regarding climate change misinformation 2023
According to a study conducted in August 2023, Pinterest was the selected social media platform that handled climate change misinformation most successfully, being awarded 12 out of a possible 21 points for having policies that included specific climate change content moderation, having a clear definition of climate misinformation, and reporting such content to coordinated disinformation campaigns, amongst other things. Second ranking TikTok also releases reports on the enforcement of its misinformation policies.
