JAKARTA - Singer Selena Gomez has again criticized Facebook for spreading information about vaccines and the Coronavirus.
In September 2020, Gomez threw her first criticism of the platform for not stopping the spread of fake news, racism, and hateful messages about the United States election.
The Birthday singer thinks that misinformation left unchecked can cost lives in the midst of a pandemic. This time, she wrote on social media about the dissemination of information by anti-vaccine groups on Facebook and Instagram.
"In December, I asked @Facebook and @Instagram to do something about COVID and vaccines", she said along with a video from the Center for Digital Hate Management (CCDH).

The CCDH stated, “20 anti-vaccine groups are responsible for two to three anti-vaccine content on social media. This analysis was shared on more than 812,000 social media between February and March to see how anti-vaccines spread false information”.
Gomez uploaded the post and mentioned the official accounts of President Joe Biden and Surgeon Vivek H. Murthy. Joe Biden himself also asked Facebook to take action.
"@Potus and @Surgeon_General have already asked @Facebook for action. But why are they still not moving?", Gomez said on Thursday, July 22.
Facebook responded to the issue to The New York Times by saying, "The suggestion that we are not yet fighting misinformation and COVID and do not support the spread of a vaccine is not supported by facts".
