Pinterest bans climate change misinformation with new policies
Pinterest has become the first major social network to implement a ban on users posting misinformation about climate change.
The image-focused social platform is putting in place new rules that means it will no longer be possible to post content that denies the existence or impacts of climate change, the human influence on climate change, or that climate change is backed by scientific consensus. Misleading posts, including those that misrepresent scientific data will also be banned.
