Mark Zuckerberg made Covid vaccines a top company priority. But Facebook failed to stop a cadre of users from flooding the platform with what internal researchers described “cesspools of anti-vaccine comments."

Ever clicked on the comments from one of the authoritative health sources being highlighted on Facebook, e.g. WHO? I have. It was, as described in the latest @WSJ Facebook report, a "cesspool of anti-vaccine comments." Here's some highlights b/c paywall. https://t.co/yJSCM1HmDi

Even authoritative sources of vaccine information were becoming “cesspools of anti-vaccine comments,” the authors wrote. “That’s a huge problem and we need to fix it,” they said.https://t.co/6It0cypIS7

At a recent gathering of Facebook’s leadership, some officials discussed whether Facebook has gotten too big, with too much data flowing to manage all of its content. “We created the machine and we can’t control the machine.” https://t.co/uijAzgAiXE

Meanwhile, 41% of the 755M daily vaccine related comment impressions on Facebook are anti-vax as the market for counterfeit vaccination cards surges.? https://t.co/AkNbHZ9RWU https://t.co/8JR5TBEZxT

Users were seeing comments discouraging vaccinations on vaccine-related posts 775 million times a day, the memo said, and Facebook worried the large proportion of negative comments could influence perceptions of vaccine safetyhttps://t.co/6It0cypIS7

WSJ's deep reporting shows that the covid cult effectively used Facebook's capabilities in their campaign to torpedo vaccinations and spread the virus. https://t.co/FMUPwpve0z

A fascinating nugget from the outstanding Facebook series, which goes to the question of whether people are persuaded by the prevalence of bad information, or turned off by it. Facebook's desperate attempts to goose engagement suggest, to me, the latterhttps://t.co/SR879wmKj6 pic.twitter.com/s7qPMwz4rk

Not surprising Facebook sees the WSJ series as a leaking-to-the-media problem. Not a we're-harming-people problem.https://t.co/NDABPpflgA pic.twitter.com/zeGw7hDVbP

I'm confused by the implied conceit that you could have a platform for mass interpersonal communication where people only say good things and not bad things. At least when @mattyglesias complains about Facebook he says the solution is to close it. https://t.co/EJ58DXs5zC
