Michael Haught
Case #
4938

Facebook restricts user account for posting meme arguing against climate change: Facebook restricted the account of @michaelahaught who posted an image of Plymouth Rock, along with a caption that explained that oceans had not risen sufficiently to submerge the rock. "This is Plymouth Rock. It has lain here for 400 years," read the graphic. "It was exposed to the oceans in 1620 & is in the exact same spot today. Oceans have failed to rise the few centimeters to cover the rock with seawater. This is a clear message about how little earth's oceans are rising." Facebook fact-checked the post and restricted the account with a notice that read "The post includes information that independent fact-checkers said was false."
