Facebook issues harsh response to Biden accusation the platform is 'killing people'

Facebook is pushing back against the White House's narrative that the social media platform is "killing people."

"In private exchanges the Surgeon General has praised our work, including our efforts to inform people about COVID-19. They knew what they were doing. The White House is looking for scapegoats for missing their vaccine goals," a Facebook spokesperson told NBC's Dylan Beyers.

"The fact is that more than 2 billion people have viewed authoritative information about COVID-19 and vaccines on Facebook, which is more than any place on the internet," the spokesperson said. "More than 3.3 million Americans have also used our vaccine finder tool to find out where and how to get the vaccine. The facts show that Facebook is helping save lives. Period."

I think he meant that it’s the unvaccinated among us who are “killing people”, not necessarily Facebook. However, if it takes FB down a peg then I’m okay with it.

I am not a Zuck fan by any means. But, in his defense, I think the insane rhetoric is aimed toward keeping him (and FB) under total Democratic control. The way they grilled him over FB practices after the 2016 election was a clear signal that he better tow-the-line or go to jail.

Think Biden meant to say that the people that his staff was telling Facebook to censor were killing people but it came out wrong.

Granted the man is foolish and wicked, but he is also senile and trips over his sentences.
