“I don’t know why you guys can't figure this out,” says White House Ben Flaherty about Facebook not controlling the narrative well enough

But YouTube and Pinterest were better censors.

“Youtube, for their warts, has done pretty well at promoting authoritative info in search results while keeping the bad stuff off of those surfaces. Pinterest doesn't even show you any results other than official information when you search for "vaccines." I don’t know why you guys can't figure this out.”

Rob Flaherty, White House Director of Digital Strategy, writes to Facebook May 12, 2021, complaining that they aren’t fully controlling the narrative as YouTube and Pinterest are.
