Facebook has long taken a hands-off approach to moderating speech, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg and other executives saying the company does not want to be"the arbiter of truth." The climate hub, like the Covid-19 and voting hubs before it, provide areas where Facebook can lean on scientific or legal experts to more aggressively distinguish between good and bad information.
With the climate hub, Facebook will anchor itself"religiously" in facts and data from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and its network of climate science partners, Clegg said. Among others, those tools will help groups that to date have raised more than $80 million for environmental causes on Facebook.
The initiative, led by Facebook's director of sustainability, Ed Palmieri, was sponsored by Clegg and Chris Cox, the longtime Facebook executive who recently returned to the company as chief product officer after a year's absence.
Facebook needs to go the way of the dinosaurs.
