Abstract

In our sample of 380 000 environmentally oriented users, nearly 50% became inactive on Twitter after it was sold in October 2022, a rate much higher than a control sample. Given Twitter's importance for public communication, our finding has troubling implications for digital environmental information sharing and public mobilization.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of interests No interests are declared.<br /> (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Ltd.
