Social Media Firms To Face Heat For Anti-Vaccine Content

London: With the world inching nearer to launching a COVID-19 vaccine, there is increasing concern over anti-vaccine disinformation on social media.

UK’s Labour Party has demanded social media firms to “stamp out dangerous anti-vaccine content” or be subject to financial and criminal penalties.

The centre-left political party, currently not in power, has said the spread of such content presents a “real and present danger” to vaccination efforts.

It also said that anti-vaccination conspiracy theories provide a recruiting ground for the far right.

Earlier in September, thousands had gathered at London’s Trafalgar Square to protest against lockdown and vaccines.
