Media. Joe Biden accuses social media like Facebook of “killing people” by not censoring criticism of coronary vaccines hard enough. Now the US president is putting pressure on the internet giants to step up censorship further.

– They kill people, said Joe Biden when asked by a reporter what he has to say to, for example, Facebook regarding “disinformation about covid-19”.

The US President continued:

– The only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated and they kill people.

The criticism comes despite the fact that Facebook at the beginning of the year banned all information that vaccines could be dangerous or not work.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki confirmed on Friday that the government has “regular contact” with social media platforms to discuss “disinformation” and “create robust strategies” to block certain users. She also revealed that the US government “flags” posts that are “problematic” to Facebook.

“Idiot Republicans”
One of those who now warns of the seriousness of the situation is Fox News presenter Tucker Carlson. He launches a fierce attack on Republicans who are now nagging about “human rights” in Cuba instead of discussing the threat to freedom of expression in their own country.

– I'm glad you mentioned Cuba, because even today devoted Republicans in Congress all day to talking about the lack of freedom in Cuba, Carlson told his guest, journalist Glenn Greenwald, in his Friday program of censorship.
