In an about-face on his own condemnation of social media misinformation about COVID-19, President Biden on Monday said, “Facebook isn’t killing people” by hosting false claims.
Biden softened his stance after company executives pushed back on his Friday statement that Facebook is responsible for deaths caused by anti-vaccine sentiment.
Asked by a reporter, “On COVID misinformation, what is your message to platforms like Facebook?” Biden lashed out Friday.
