Facebook says it will crack down on vaccine misinformation

COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO)– Facebook is once again vowing to fight misinformation on its platforms. The company announced several ways it plans to better combat vaccine misinformation. One is by making it harder to find anti-vaccine information on its Instagram platform.
