@samschech @JeffHorwitz @EmilyGlazer "In the weeks before Mr. Zuckerberg made his announcement, another memo said initial testing concluded that roughly 41% of comments on English-language vaccine-related posts risked discouraging vaccinations." wsj.com/articles/faceb…
This confirms the contention of so many, such as @CCDHate's @Imi_Ahmed, who Facebook trashed for suggesting key influencers were warping the vaccine debate on the platform. 
@CCDHate @Imi_Ahmed Facebook, which often vaunts its systems for automatic moderation and removal of content, did not have the engineering tools to stop comments that discouraged use of the vaccine.
@CCDHate @Imi_Ahmed Facebook executives are openly discussing whether they created a monster, per the Wall Street Journal.
Hard to argue that Joe Biden's statement that social media is "killing people" wasn't entirely accurate- easier to argue it was likely an understatement. wsj.com/articles/faceb…
