Facebook parent company Meta is officially terminating its COVID-19 censorship policies in the U.S., the tech giant told The Washington Post. …
Meta not only censored content on Facebook but also on other platforms under its umbrella, such as Instagram. The popular photo platform just restored Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s account on June 4 after banning him in 2021 for criticizing the COVID-19 vaccine.
“As he is now an active candidate for president of the United States, we have restored access to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s, Instagram account,” Meta spokesman Andy Stone told the Post.
[Meta interfered with the normal accountability process that was desperately needed in the pandemic. They cannot undo that damage now, and even this concession implies that they would do it all over again in a New York minute if the opportunity arises. — Ed]
