TikTok is making huge profits from ads that spread lies about climate change -- even though it has a brand new policy clamping down on climate disinformation.
By allowing companies like Shell and Exxon to use its platform to spread lies, TikTok is making it harder for activists to fight for tough new climate laws.
TikTok’s execs are so desperate to avoid yet another scandal, if enough of us speak out we can get them to ban fossil fuel ads altogether.
Tell TikTok to ban fossil fuel ads now!
These deceptive fossil fuel ads are designed to fool the public and weaken politicians’ resolve to act. Chevron’s latest ad campaign claims it’s switching to clean energy, but the company invests only a tiny fraction in renewables.
Last month Twitter began clamping down on climate disinformation. Now let’s demand TikTok go even further and ban fossil fuel ads completely.
Our movement has gone head to head with some of the world’s most powerful companies who are willing to sacrifice the health of our planet to make a quick buck. Let’s do it again -- add your name:
Tell TikTok to ban fossil fuels ads now!
