Facebook has come under fire for hosting a number of prominent vaccine misinformation accounts. The Center for Countering Digital Hate found in May, for instance, that just 12 people produce 65 percent of the shares of anti-vaccine misinformation.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Thursday that all these accounts remained on Facebook and that the platform "needs to move more quickly to remove harmful violative posts."
The comments from Psaki and the president himself signal a ramping up of pressure from the White House on tech giants.
The rate of vaccinations has slowed in the U.S. even as the more transmissible Delta variant has taken hold. Just above 48 percent of all Americans — any age — are fully vaccinated, although 68 percent of adults have had at least one dose.
Facebook Spokesperson Dani Lever released the following comment to Mashable:
"We will not be distracted by accusations which aren’t supported by the facts. 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 other place on the internet. More than 3.3 million Americans have also used our vaccine finder tool to find out where and how to get a vaccine. The facts show that Facebook is helping save lives. Period."
