Social media urged to remove anti-vaccine activists’ accounts

A US law maker has urged Google, Face book, and Twitter to ban a dozen people who are claimed to be spreading disinformation on Covid-19 vaccine.

Representative Mike Doyle challenged Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey and Sundar Pinchai to deplatform the dozen people immediately.

Facebook said it to see if the accounts violated its community standards.

However, Twitter and Google have not yet responded on the specific request to remove the accounts.

The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) analysed that 65% of anti-vaccine posts came from "disinformation dozen".
