Fourteen U.S. state attorneys general press Facebook on vaccine disinformation

The attorneys general of 14 U.S. states sent a letter to Facebook Inc (FB.O) Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg asking if the top disseminators of vaccine disinformation on the platform received special treatment from the company. The line of inquiry was generated after Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen used internal documents to disclose that the social media platform has built a system that exempts high-profile users from some or all of its rules. In the letter, which was sent on Wednesday, the 14 Democratic attorneys general said they are 'extremely concerned' with recent reports that Facebook maintained lists of members who have received special treatment, and want to know if the 'Disinformation Dozen' were part of those lists.
