Vaccine misinformation, lies about vaccines and vaccinations are as old as themselves. Unfortunately today with all of the tools that exist in 2021, the reality of the misinformation and lies is arguably as infectious as any of the diseases that thankfully we know have vaccines to help prevent, including Covid19 And Covid19 vaccines. As incredibly grateful the Senator Klobuchar has taken time from her busy day on the hill to lend her voice to this conversation, she has just been a tireless advocate in calling out those who are superspreaders of misinformation, calling for more Content Regulation that are from the social media companies and others who really are the gatekeepers to what information so many of us see and therefore consume.

The ban is going to have to be revisited within six months as the board criticized what it called a vague and standardless approach to facebooks efforts to address posts from trump that were deemed dangerous and that legitimized violence. And Mark Zuckerberg hoping this Oversight Board would clean his hands. The Oversight Board had another thing to say. Heres what the Oversight Boards administrative director told my colleague hallie jackson. The board has found that the suspension of former President Trump was necessary to keep people safe. That the actions of the former president encouraged and legitimized violence and constituted what the board has termed a severe violation of the facebook rules. And the board has also said obviously that an indefinite expense is contrary to what should be clear and consiste
