Not just big oil. The beef and cattle industries also spend hundreds of millions every year spreading misinformation about the health and environmental benefits of beef/dairy. The beef and dairy industries blatantly lie, misquote research, and use social media to push nonsense myths/alternate histories.
The YouTuber Climate Town recently did a video on the dairy industry. The video outlines very clearly the mass misinformation campaigns by the dairy industry and how they captured young children. Rollie has shown in a few previous videos how industries in America influence the public.
Beef/dairy, quite literally, have hired the same PR people as big tobacco and big oil to push their messaging. This has extended to social media in a pretty big way.
