“#Facebook<\/a> to start banning ads that discourage vaccinations<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Facebook will start banning ads that explicitly discourage people from getting vaccinated, the world\u2019s largest social media company said Tuesday, as it also announced a new flu vaccine information campaign.<\/p>\n

Ads advocating for or against legislation or government policies around vaccines, including a COVID-19 vaccine, will still be allowed, the company said in a blog post<\/a>. It will begin to enforce the new global policy in the next few days.<\/p>\n

Facebook, with 2.7 billion monthly active users, has been under pressure from lawmakers and public health groups to crack down on anti-vaccine content and misinformation on its platform. The company said that although a COVID-19 vaccine would not be available for some time, the pandemic had highlighted the importance of preventative health behaviors.<\/p>\n

Facebook\u2019s previous rules prohibited ads containing vaccine misinformation or hoaxes identified by leading health organizations, but allowed ads opposing vaccines if they did not contain false claims.<\/p>\n

This summer, Facebook public policy manager Jason Hirsch told Reuters the company believed users should be able to express personal anti-vaccine views and that more aggressive censorship could push people hesitant about vaccines toward the anti-vaccine camp.<\/p>\n

Facebook will also start directing US users this week to information about the flu vaccine and how to get it, according to the company\u2019s head of health Kang-Xing Jin and director of product management Rob Leathern in the blog post.<\/p>\n

Facebook is working with public health partners like the World Health Organization and UNICEF on messaging campaigns to increase immunization rates, they added.<\/p>\n

Anti-vaccine content and misinformation about the new COVID-19 vaccines have flourished on social media platforms including Facebook during the coronavirus pandemic, researchers told Reuters earlier this year.<\/p>\n

In September, the company also said it would stop recommending health-related Facebook groups, saying it was crucial that people get health information from \u201cauthoritative sources.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
