Facts vs. “Fact-checkersâ€: Facebook’s Censorship of
Climate Science and Energy Economics
Submitted by Dr. Caleb Stewart Rossiter
Executive Director, CO2 Coalition
Chairman Wicker, Ranking Member Cantwell, and Members of the Committee: Thank you for bringing attention to the important topic of censorship by technology and social media entities who, because of their reach into our daily lives, operate as both formal private corporations and informal public trusts.
I was a congressional staffer and a statistics professor, and now I direct the CO2 Coalition, an alliance of 60 distinguished climate scientists and energy economists. For the past year our non-profit educational group, like many others in this area, has been subjected to censorship by Facebook.
