Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy acknowledged that Big Tech has taken some “positive steps” to combat misinformation about coronavirus vaccines but “not enough” – amid President Biden’s accusation that Facebook is “killing people” by failing to rid its platform of inaccurate information.
Murthy was asked on CNN’s “State of the Union” about Facebook’s statement in response, saying the White House is looking for a scapegoat to blame for the lag in vaccinations and claiming that administration officials have praised the work of the social media giant.
“I’ve been very consistent in what I’ve said to the technology companies, and I’ve spoken with a number of them over the last many months, and my team has as well. And what we have effectively said is when we see steps that are good, that are being taken, we should acknowledge those. And there have been some positive steps taken by these technology companies,” he told host Dana Bash, noting that some promoted material from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The textbook definition of Mussolini's fascism.
The diminishing returns of censorship!
Hey vivian, how about a hot steamin’ cup of STFU. How about we see YOUR info and this (p)residential cabal’s news as misinformation? And you need to silenced/censored for spreading undue fear and loathing amongst folks. NO?
So the virtual reality world of cyberspace is one in which fascism is permissible, even desirable. To those who own it.
FARCEbook is misinformation and censor central.
The Press Secretary Psaki came out to say that anyone who “spreads misinformation” should be banned from ALL social media. And she added that the WH is in close contact with the big social media companies to ask them to suppress what the WH considers as “misinformation” when the WH sees it.
What we have now, in the liberal media and with the spokespersons of the democrat party and the “Biden” administration, is nothing more than a bunch of “Baghdad Bobs”.
Says the man who lied about having 10 family members dying of Covid19.

The hubris of the left is astonishing. They are drunk on evil and disinformation
That is the motto/agenda of the left. Fascism. They peddle in misinformation, then turn around and proclaim that those who are telling the truth are the ones peddling misinformation. They are shameless, evil people
Ill tell you how stupid I am. When I first glanced at that headline, I thought that the Surgeon General was objecting to censorship. But, no. He was calling for more censorship.
I’ve got to get more up to speed on this Brave New World.
And as a side note, if there is wrong information (on any topic) out there, an honorable government would offer strong counter-arguments. A dishonorable government would use fascist tactics, like censorship.
Ef em all...
Wow, more and more like nazi Germany every day with this administration
Same here. It’s a poorly written headline.
The Babylon Bee is supposed to be satire but lately is more truth than not.
Joebama is eliminating the middleman on a lot of fronts.
So few understand this.
THEY do what they ACCUSE us of.
I’m more of a visual person. So here’s my response to the Surgeon General:
Someone should do a deep dive on our Surgeon General’s backround.
He’s an interesting guy.
