Platforms Amplify Legitimacy For Greenwashing Practices
A commentator examines how LinkedIn and intermediary agencies enable greenwashing by circulating unsourced graphics and polished narratives that resemble scientific analysis. The piece cites concepts like organizational 'bullshit', Mark Suchman's legitimacy framework, and Cory Doctorow's 'enshittification' to show platforms prioritize engagement and authority signals over evidence. The author warns this noisy legitimacy market obscures rigorous research and complicates evidence-based decision-making.
Scoring Rationale
Solid analysis of platform-driven greenwashing dynamics and legitimacy markets, but largely opinion-based without new empirical evidence.
