> A climate scientist says Facebook is restricting her ability to share research and fact-check posts containing climate misinformation.

Why would a climate scientists have the ability to do that? How is she restricted? Being a scientist or sharing the majority opinion doesn't give you the authority to shut other people down. This childish behavior is just damaging educational efforts and is undermining legit research.

Display info about disinformation campaigns and their financial ties if you have proof. That is all you can do and it will convince many more than an effort to silence opposition.
