Introducing its new company, Meta, in the event it held in the past days, Facebook appeared before users with a radical change. It has been announced that Facebook will initiate a study so that children are not exposed to misinformation about the coronavirus.
Introducing the virtual world called Metaverse, Facebook underlined that users will experience a new internet experience. However, the company, which has very strict rules on coronavirus, will come up with new measures to protect users.
Facebook will protect kids from misinformation about coronavirus
The effects of the coronavirus, which deeply affected the world in 2020, still continue. Vaccines, which emerged after extensive measures taken in many countries, do not yet offer a complete solution, although they slow down the spread.
In the report published by the FDA (United States Food and Drug Administration), it was announced that children between the ages of 5 and 11 were authorized for emergency use for the Pfizer vaccine. Following the published report, Facebook will publish text on users’ news feeds explaining that coronavirus vaccines for children have also been approved for children and how children can be vaccinated.
False claims that vaccines are untested, unsafe, or ineffective for children have been added to the list of misinformation about COVID that Facebook will remove from the site.
