Pinterest 'Climate disinformation policy'

Misinformation on climate change is now prohibited on Pinterest.

Pinterest announced that it would restrict all climate disinformation as part of its efforts to limit the propagation of incorrect and misleading statements. Pinterest is a social network that focuses on images. By the new policy, the website has committed to remove any content that misrepresents or ignores the facts of the climate issue. This includes content that has been uploaded as advertisements as well as content that is considered to be "organic." The company has, for several years now, been making a concerted effort to differentiate itself from its competitors in the social media space by instituting content restrictions that make an effort to restrict a variety of types of false material.
