Biden blasted for accusing Facebook of 'killing people' over COVID misinformation as WH partners with Big Tech
Fox News
President Biden sparked backlash on social media Friday after he accused Facebook of "killing people" – as the White House's partnership with Big Tech companies to crack down on so-called coronavirus "misinformation" was raising major free-speech concerns among critics.
"They’re killing people," Biden responded. "The only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated, and they’re killing people." The president's hyperbolic rhetoric was slammed on Twitter. "@POTUS is right about Big Tech’s role, he’s just pointing his finger at the wrong problem," Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis. reacted. "It’s their suppression and censorship of early treatment that has cost lives. Social media should have been an open forum for solutions, instead it has become a tool for Big Brother."More Related News
