Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, argued on “Sunday Morning Futures” that “it now is clear” that Facebook was “utilizing their monopoly position to censor on behalf of the government” regarding information related to COVID-19 and its origins.
Cruz made the comment reacting to Facebook saying on May 26 that it would no longer ban posts suggesting COVID-19 is man-made amid mounting calls from President Biden and other officials for further investigation into the pandemic’s origins.
The announcement marked a reversal for the social media giant. In February, Facebook said it would remove posts claiming the virus was man-made or manufactured “following consultations with leading health organizations, including the World Health Organization” who had “debunked” the claim.
