This is really important. Climate denial has done so much damage to the fight to save our planet from the climate crisis. So why on Earth is Google, a company that claims to be green, profiting from and amplifying climate denial content?

It’s fascinating to observe the fights @elonmusk picks. He sucked up to the Indian government and suspended the accounts of protesting farmers for them: cnbc.com/2024/02/22/x-w… And yet he says taking down terrorist content in Australia is “censorship”. Hypocrite.
How to navigate online disinformation & AI deepfakes in a year of elections? Join our CEO @Imi_Ahmed to discuss the risks that AI poses to democracy at the @guardian's event on Wednesday 24th, at 8pm BST. Register here 👇 theguardian.com/guardian-live-…
"It would be so poetic if the legacy of Musk's attempt to silence organizations like CCDH, @ADL & @mmfa is that he becomes the reason why statutory transparency & data access pathways are legislated for in the US." 🎧 Our CEO @Imi_Ahmed on @NikiChristoff's podcast:
Information disorder is a systemic issue. @CCDHate founder and CEO @Imi_Ahmed explained how our system amplifies lies. Watch the #SkollWF clip.
Imran and the organization he founded @CCDHate have catalyzed the world’s understanding of the information ecosystem and how bad actors exploit it to spread les and hate for profit. We were so fortunate to be able to learn from him today. Thank you friend, for all you do!!

These statistics come from Pandemic Profiteers, one of @CCDHate’s vital reports on anti-vaxx grifters and the social media giants who do business with them. Vital research on how lies and hate are big business for X, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

Real pleasure to deliver a guest lecture at @BrownUniversity this morning on digital health disinformation to @JenniferNuzzo’s exceptional young students. I am in awe of their dedication and the work they will do in their future careers.
.@Imi_Ahmed on how #climatemisinformation is fueled by social media. The more we hear an idea, the more likely we are to believe it is true. SM amplifies misinformation to the point where we start to believe untruths. #Pollution isn’t just in our air. #LeadwithClimateReality!
“We have to fight the information crisis to fight our climate crisis.” -@Imi_Ahmed of counterhate.com @ClimateReality #leadwithclimatereality
Truth teller: “we must fight and win the information crisis if we are to fight and win the #ClimateCrisis” @Imi_Ahmed @ClimateReality #leadonclimate
Such a privilege to join VP @algore at his @ClimateReality Leadership Corps event, speaking to hundreds of incredible passionate activists about climate disinformation today in New York. Wonderful to be on stage with @amywestervelt and @emorwee.
Jackson Hinkle is part of "a sort of new cadre of people who exploit the algorithms’ insatiable desire for highly contentious content to benefit themselves economically." Our CEO @Imi_Ahmed in the @nytimes on CCDH's new research⤵️ nytimes.com/2024/04/11/bus…
Another vital bit of research by @CCDHate gracing the @nytimes. After the atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7, hate targeting Jewish people was beneficial - in fact, profitable - to X’s new elite of conspiracists, liars and hate preachers.
Hate spreaders are exploiting the Israel-Gaza conflict to grow their following. Our CEO @Imi_Ahmed said: "None of the accounts deserved the enormous visibility they received by cynically goading, upsetting, and terrorizing others into emotional responses” rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…
Where does “innovation” end and public harm begin? I break down the dark industry of social media with @CCDHate’s @Imi_Ahmed on the new @ProjectLincoln pod: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/are…
With every day that passes, it becomes clearer that @elonmusk is absolutely incapable of running the platform formerly known as Twitter. I discuss this and more with @reedgalen on the new @ProjectLincoln pod: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/are…
A real honor to appear alongside folks from @Global_Witness, @DigitalRightsPK/ @Meta @OversightBoard and @Google, under the crisp chairing of @camposmello, at @SkollWorldForum today. We need checks and balances to the unrestrained power of social media companies.
🌎Online climate denial delays action & threatens our future. But what can we do? Our CEO @Imi_Ahmed will join @amywestervelt & @emorwee in this week's @ClimateReality’s leadership training in New York to talk about how to tackle climate disinfo. #ActOnClimate #LeadOnClimate
