Big Oil is strategically using Facebook to blitz Americans with a steady stream of messages designed to delay the extinction of fossil fuel use, according to new research.
Pro-fossil fuel ads were viewed more than 431 million times on Facebook's (FB) US platforms in 2020 alone, a report released Thursday by InfluenceMap found. Despite that vast reach, the oil-and-gas industry spent just $9.6 million on the ads, according to InfluenceMap, a think tank focused on energy and climate change.More Related News
