Facebook is ‘killing people’ with Covid-19 misinformation: Biden

US President Joe Biden has hit out at Facebook again, saying that such social media platforms are allowing Covid vaccine misinformation to spread and are “killing people”.

In an interaction with the media on Friday, Biden directly criticised Facebook.

Asked for a message to social media platforms like Facebook, Biden replied: “They’re killing people… the only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated, and they’re killing people.”

Facebook defended its policy on fighting vaccine misinformation.

“We will not be distracted by accusations which aren’t supported by the facts,” a Facebook spokesperson told The Verge.
