Fact checked

Climate activist calls on her 2.6 million followers to demand change

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has lashed out at Facebook, urging the social media giant to curb hate speech, conspiracy theories and the lack of fact-checking that she says is rampant.

She said she found Facebook’s ‘lack of taking responsibility very disturbing’ and is questioning whether to continue using the social network as a result.

The Mail Online reports: In a Facebook post shared with her 2.6million followers, Thunberg, 16, wrote Wednesday that she was debating quitting the social media platform because she finds its ‘lack of taking responsibility very disturbing.’

‘I am, like many others, questioning whether I should keep using Facebook or not,’ Thunberg wrote Wednesday. ‘Allowing hate speech, the lack of fact checking and of course the issues of interfering with democracy…are among many, many other things that are very upsetting.

She shared the post, revealing she’s thinking of quitting Facebook, with her 2.6m followers

‘The constant lies and conspiracy theories about me and countless of others of course result in hate, death threats and ultimately violence,’ Thunberg continued. ‘This could easily be stopped if Facebook wanted to. I find the lack of taking responsibility very disturbing.’

She concluded the post by noting: ‘But I’m sure that if they are challenged and if enough of us demand change – then change will come.’

  7. Letter written to Greta ??Humm..

    Honey,

    On Friday, instead of going to high school, you participated in the protest for climate protection and saving the planet. You can not imagine how proud we were to see you involved in such an essential cause. Deeply moved by so much maturity and nobility of soul, we were totally conquered by the relevance of your fight.

    Also, I inform you that your mother and I have decided to be unfailingly supportive and, from today, to do everything to reduce the carbon footprint of our family.

    So to start, we get rid of all the smartphones in the house. And then also television. You will see no objection, of course, that your console suffers the same fate: it is said that they contain rare metals that children, like you, extract under the ground in shameful conditions.

    Of course, we undertook to also terminate all telephone subscriptions and Internet access box. We realized that all these gigantic data centers that store data from social networks and films in “steaming” are energy sinkholes. I also contacted a plumber to remove the energy-consuming air conditioning system. We will replace it with low consumption fans which we will strive not to misuse.

    We also think that it is necessary to correct our lifestyles: we will therefore stop going on holiday at ski or abroad. Neither on the Côte d’Azur with the camper that, by the way, we have the firm intention to resell. And of course, finished the plane! For next summer, your mother and I planned to go up the Canal du Midi by the banks, by bike. As you will now go to college with your ATV, it will give you a great workout. Yes, because the battery of your electric scooter is not recyclable, you will have to forget this mode of locomotion. But it’s already done, I guess.

    Ah! for your clothes, we decided not to buy brands anymore (these clothes are made by children’s hands in third world countries as you know). You will approve us, we are convinced of it. We therefore plan to buy clothes made of eco-friendly materials, such as linen or wool, which we will choose preferably unbleached (dyes are among the largest pollutants).

    In the process, we will go organic food and focus on short circuits. And to go short, we even think of buying chickens to have fresh eggs on hand: you’ll love! Your mother even thought of a sheep to mow the grass. And then, I sent a formal application to the mayor to obtain the allocation of a parcel in shared family gardens. We are counting on you to help us grow our vegetables. It goes without saying that, in this process, we will ban industrial foods. Sorry for the Coke and Nutella you used to eat and which you will have to deprive yourself now. But we do not doubt for a moment your approval.

    Finally, to overcome the lack of distractions by screens, in the evening, we will return to reading (in books recycled paper, it goes without saying) or we will play chess and why not small horses: there is a eternity that we have not done any part of this hilarious game. We will buy a tray and wooden pieces of the Jura, as it should. And we will make sure to go to bed earlier to save light.

    Here we are, you are sure that you will adhere fully to this friendly program that is part of your direct line to save the planet. And we thank you again for opening our eyes.

    Your parents who admire you and who love you.

    (mail written on recycled paper)

  8. As someone said on here ……”With Climate Change folks you are not allowed to ask questions…….You are expected to believe them and not ask questions.”
