Facebook has actually done something about it against the so-called “disinformation lots,” a set of accounts openly determined by the Biden White Home as responsible for the majority of alleged coronavirus “disinformation” on the platform.
The Biden administration recognized the accounts last month and publicly advised Facebook to do something about it against them. It appears Facebook has now caught that pressure.

In spite of slamming Facebook, the White Home confessed last month that it remains in regular contact with the platform to recognize and get rid of posts.

On Thursday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki confessed that the administration is recognizing posts to Facebook that contain “misinformation” about coronavirus vaccines and is in “routine touch” with the Masters of the Universe.
