White House looks to cool battle with Facebook
| The White House on Monday sought to cool its heated confrontation with Facebook, which had festered over the weekend after President Biden accused the social media giant of “killing people” with misinformation about coronavirus vaccines.
The unusual attack by Biden had triggered a tough response from Facebook, and on Monday the president and his aides were clearly looking to bring down the temperature. Biden, less than 72 hours after his initial remarks, said “Facebook isn’t killing people” and rephrased his original comments as being about 12 people on Facebook who have been accused of spreading disinformation. |
