Awesome. Finally someone decided to ban something that's actually unambiguously bad, useless, and materially harmful.
Even with Trump, whose banning I support, you could argue there was some value in knowing what the President had on his mind.
I really don't need to know what Exxon's PR hacks want me to believe about climate change, even just for informational value. I'm extraordinarily well-aware of what they want me to think and why.
Some things are just evil, and they become more evil and more powerful the more you feed them. Hitler was one. Exxon talking about climate change is another.
- 8note 5y agoI think it's interesting to know what Exxon's PR is thinking, though I don't think money spent is the right way to prioritize their thoughts vs anything else
- pixl97 5y agoIf you want to know what Exxon's PR is thinking just listen to your average Texas senator.
- pornel 5y agoExxon's PR is always thinking FUD, such as "banning our anti-scientific PR ads is a slippery slope towards banning all science (because who can tell the difference between new revolutionary theory that upends thousands of peer-reviewed papers in 280 characters, and our lies)".
