White House May Work With Carriers To Screen Anti-Vax Messages

jeudi 15 juillet 2021, 03:25 , par Slashdot
According to Politico, 'Biden allied groups, including the Democratic National Committee, are planning to engage fact-checkers more aggressively and work with SMS carriers to dispel misinformation about vaccines that is sent over social media and text messages.' The White House is also planning to work with social media platforms and traditional media outlets to combat misinformation and ultimately improve vaccination rates. TmoNews reports: The White House could ask carriers like T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T to step in and stop the spread of these text messages. This is one way they hope they will be able to get their vaccination message across better and eliminate misinterpretation. There is no word yet on whether or not the White House has reached out to these carriers to help them screen anti-vax messages. But if it does, it will be interesting to see how this will be acted upon and which tools would be used. Then again, it could open a can of worms with potential issues that would violate customer privacy and an individual's right to free speech. 'We are steadfastly committed to keeping politics out of the effort to get every American vaccinated so that we can save lives and help our economy further recover,' White House spokesperson Kevin Munoz said. 'When we see deliberate efforts to spread misinformation, we view that as an impediment to the country's public health and will not shy away from calling that out.'
