Senate Democrats introduced a bill on Thursday that would make Facebook liable for “misinformation” about the global pandemic. The Health Misinformation Act , introduced by Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Ben Ray Luján (D-NM), would use the Department of Health and Human Services to open social media platforms like Facebook up to liability for misinformation about COVID-19 and the COVID vaccine.
Section 230 currently protects social media platforms from liability for illegal content posted by third-party users.
The bill would enable the secretary of Health and Human Services to issue “guidelines” on what content would be classified as “health misinformation.”
“For far too long, online platforms have not done enough to protect the health of Americans. These are some of the biggest, richest companies in the world and they must do more to prevent the spread of deadly vaccine misinformation,” Klobuchar said of the bill. “The coronavirus pandemic has shown us how lethal misinformation can be and it is our responsibility to take action.”
The bill comes after President Biden said misleading posts on Facebook were “killing people.”
“They’re killing people. The only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated. And they’re killing people,” he said .
Facebook took issue with the president’s comments, arguing that his characterization of Facebook’s involvement in spreading misinformation online was unfair.

“We will not be distracted by accusations which aren’t supported by the facts,” the tech giant said . “The fact is that more than 2 billion people have viewed authoritative information about COVID-19 and vaccines on Facebook, which is more than any other place on the internet.”
“More than 3.3 million Americans have also used our vaccine finder tool to find out where and how to get a vaccine. The facts show that Facebook is helping save lives. Period.”Experts are concerned about the power the bill would give the Department of Health and Human Services.“What could go wrong?” Jeff Kosseff, an Assistant Professor of Cybersecurity Law at the U.S. Naval Academy, tweeted .“What happens when there is an HHS secretary who has very different views about what is “health misinformation?” And the First Amendment…” he continued .

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
