The allegations against Google for profiting from climate change denial content are troubling. By allowing ads to promote false information, Google risks undermining its sustainability commitments and spreading misinformation. Stronger accountability and a more rigorous approach to ad policies are essential.

@munene_mugambi I agree that it is time for Google to stop having double standards and put their foot down. They should ban any ads that are misleading the masses, especially in matters of climate change.

As climate change continues to pose significant global challenges, it is important for tech companies to adopt rigorous content moderation practices to mitigate the spread of denial narratives and promote informed discourse.

@walter_lungayi I agree that it is very important for tech companies to put in place systems that verify information and ensure that the public consumes factual information. This is especially important to reduce misleading information about climate change.

@annett_michuki You're right! A platform as influential as Google has a responsibility to ensure that it does not profit from or promote misleading information. Allowing climate change denial content undermines the fight against one of the most critical global challenges we face today.

@annett_michuki Google is a trusted platform and should not encourage misinformation about climate change. They should develop strict conditions and filtering systems to ensure that only accurate information is disseminated on their platform.

This is deeply irresponsible, as it fuels misinformation & contradicts the company's public stance on sustainability, prioritizing profit over environmental accountability.⚠⚠

@gorffly_mokua It is true that Google has a responsibility to the planet. However, it appears that Google has chosen profits over the planet.
