Politico: Biden Allied Groups Want SMS Carriers AKA Text Messages to Fact Check Covid-19 Information

The Biden Administration is cracking down on what they believe is faulty information that could lead to harm regarding the Covid-19 pandemic, vaccines, and other information. Basically, there is an authority or group of approved media and doctors who are allowed to say what’s what. Outside of that, information can be deemed harmful or misinformation.

We are not doctors, and additionally are doing our best to abide by social media company standards and will not opine on what is or is not misinformation here.

The interesting thing though is that Politico is reporting that Biden allies are seeking to figure out a way to “fact-check” text messages. This seems to be a line many thought would not be crossed because text messages and phone calls are supposed to be private. We’re not sure who the groups are, or if it will come to fruition, but if it does, it opens up a whole new can of worms. Is big tech censorship going to be extended by phone carriers into our text messages and calls now?

JUST IN – Biden allied groups, including the DNC, plan to engage fact-checkers and work with SMS carriers to "dispel misinformation" about vaccines that is sent over social media and text messages (Politico)

The quote below is directly from Politico:

Biden allied groups, including the Democratic National Committee, are also planning to engage fact-checkers more aggressively and work with SMS carriers to dispel misinformation about vaccines that is sent over social media and text messages. The goal is to ensure that people who may have difficulty getting a vaccination because of issues like transportation see those barriers lessened or removed entirely.

Politico reported on some of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s recent messaging:

“The big misinterpretation that Fox News or whomever else is saying is that they are essentially envisioning a bunch of federal workers knocking on your door, telling you you’ve got to do something that you don’t want to do,” Anthony Fauci, President Biden’s chief medical adviser, said in an interview on Sunday. “That’s absolutely not the case, it’s trusted messengers who are part of the community doing that – not government officials. So that’s where I think the disconnect is.”

Fauci took some of that messaging to Sunday cable news shows, including underscoring the idea that door-to-door vaccination efforts are an attempt to remove barriers to access and that 99.5 percent of deaths due to Covid are among people who are unvaccinated.

Time will tell what comes of the text message debate, or if the American people get to have a say, at all.
