By Lindsey Bever Lindsey Bever General assignment reporter covering national and breaking news Email Bio Follow March 22 at 2:12 PM GoFundMe has joined a growing list of social media companies cracking down on anti-vaccination propaganda to help stop the spread of misinformation.
But Whithorne told the news site that those crowdfunding campaigns are “extremely rare” and that, so far, the company has found fewer than 10 to remove.Experts say companies, especially social media platforms, are being tasked with new and challenging responsibilities as they learn to navigate the line between doing business and playing the role of censor in an age when misleading claims about health and science can have a profound impact on public health.
Madara said doctors “are troubled by reports of anti-vaccine related messages and advertisements targeting parents searching for vaccine information on your platforms.” The anti-vaccine movement has been sustained, in part, from fraudulent research from 1998 that purported to show a link between autism and a preservative used in vaccines — despite the fact that it has been discredited and despite the fact that numerous other studies have provided conclusive evidence that vaccinations do not cause autism.
So gofundme and instagram are conspiring to censor information rather than allowing the public informed consent, good to know for civil suits since they will be hiding drug damage data. Vaccine courts only cover pharmacutical companies not those conspiring to hide deadly info.
Good way to stop the propaganda being put out by Russian trolls or religious nuts
Gofundme should be removed imo. just a disguise for fraudsters.
Do anti-vaxxers use GoFundMe? I guess those iron lungs still ain't cheap.
