Twitter ‘ninjas’ against climate denial
A secretive group of internet vigilantes steps out of the shadows. They call themselves “Team Ninja Trollhunters”. Their mission? To fight climate change denial on Twitter.
Climate-denying trolls, beware: a group of internet vigilantes is coming for you.
They call themselves “Team Ninja Trollhunters”: a ragtag group of activists from around the globe, who have vowed to fight those spreading climate change misinformation on Twitter.
The group claims to have succeeded in getting hundreds of users booted off the platform, but their methods aren’t without controversy. As a ferocious information war rages on online, are these vigilantes at risk of behaving like the very trolls they claim to be fighting?
