Facebook Vowed to Stop Climate Change Misinformation – Then Suspended Greenpeace
Climate activists are furious that Facebook’s new misinformation algorithm backfired and banned all their friends.

Oh Boy!! More BS from the folks over at WUWT.

Greenpeace and other climate activists were NOT banned because of the misinformation algorithm. That is a lie. They were banned for an alleged “intellectual property rights violation”.

And the liars at WUWT even quoted from the original Guardian article where it states this fact. But people like Jack are oblivious to reality and just blindly cut and paste WUWT lies.

Please... don't keep up the bad work, Jack!!

It seems it was Facebook themselves who blamed their system. it was the banned folks who claimed it was all about intellectual property rights.

"Facebook suspends environmental groups despite vow to fight misinformation

Facebook blames mistake in system for restrictions on groups including Greenpeace USA

Facebook has suspended the accounts of several environmental organizations less than a week after launching an initiative it said would counter a tide of misinformation over climate science on the platform.

Groups such as Greenpeace USA, Climate Hawks Vote and Rainforest Action Network were among those blocked from posting or sending messages on Facebook over the weekend. Activists say hundreds of other individual accounts linked to indigenous, climate and social justice groups were also suspended for an alleged “intellectual property rights violation”. . . ."

Really? Where does The Guardian say this? Or are you just making **** up again?
 
Buzz said:
A mistake in the system does not automatically mean it was due to the misinformation algorithm like WUWT claims.

You are going to have to do better than that to prove WUWT isn't just lying again.

The Guardian:
". . . In a statement, a Facebook spokesperson said: “Our systems mistakenly removed these accounts and content. They have since been restored and we’ve lifted any limits imposed on identified profiles.”. . . "

Still not proof or even evidence that the removals were because of the misinformation algorithm like WUWT claimed.

Admit it, Jack... WUWT's claim that the bans were because of the misinformation algorithm is not supported anywhere in the Guardian article.

WUWT is making **** up again.

You're only damaging yourself now.
WUWT are not the ones being dishonest.
Our systems mistakenly removed these accounts and content.

Sure they are. They claimed that the bans were because of the misinformation algorithm when there is no evidence in their source that this is the fact.

Is this really so hard for you to understand?

Right, where? Quote the specific wording from The Guardian article that states that the bans were because of the misinformation algorithm. You can't show me because it is not there.

"Our systems" covers that. I showed you were wrong, and churlish in the bargain. I'm not following you down that road.

"Our systems" could be because of an “intellectual property rights violation”. Or any number of other reasons.

You haven't shown Jack ****!!

What you have done is take an instance where you were wrong once by posting a WUWT lie and turned it into you being wrong 7 times.

:ROFLMAO:

Are you proud of yourself? Do you want to add to that? I mean... you have only been shown to be wrong literally hundreds, if not thousands, of times. What is a few more?

8 times.

Whatever...

Go ahead and take your ball and run home to mommy crying about how "unreasonable" I am.

How dare I demand that you actually cite quotes from the source that shows specifically that the environmentalists banned were banned because of the misinformation algorithm instead of something else.

George Orwell was a deeply insightful man, and he sensed the dangers ahead for our society. Here we see the United States House of Representatives moving to assemble the building blocks of our very own Ministry of Climate Truth. Somewhere, George Orwell is nodding and puffing his pipe.

Good for YouTube. That's one less place for that idiot Tony Heller to push his cherry-picked misinformation.

Maybe it is a clear indication that we no longer have unbiased media outlets...

Too bad you support censorship. Why don't you move to a country that doesn't have freedom of speech?

Oh please... there is still plenty of denialist propaganda on YouTube. If they were really as biased as you are suggesting then all of it would have been removed.

I don't support censorship. Tony Heller is still free to push all the lies and misinformation he wants on his website and others like it. What I support is the right of YouTube to decide what is and is not disseminated on their privately owned platform.

What is it with you know-it-all right wingers and your insulting demands that other peole you disagree with or dislike should leave the country? Screw you. I have just as much right to express my praise for YouTude and their removal of lies and misinformation from their website as you have to critisize them for it.
