> Alex Cardier, the UK managing director for NewsGuard, said Facebook and Instagram were failing to protect their users from Covid-19 and vaccine misinformation despite having been warned “repeatedly”.
But that is not Facebook's or any other company's duty. It's a communication / ad platform, not a state/pharma propaganda platform. If people want to talk about negatives of these products, Facebook should let them. Guardian is awful.

The UK has a military propaganda unit to battle Covid misinformation. They might even achieve levels of compliance they would have had if media and politics ignored the issue.
