Facebook found Biden's words that social networks are "killing" unfounded.

Facebook has taken issue with US President Joe Biden's assertion that social media is responsible for coronavirus deaths. Dany Lever, a spokeswoman for the company, told ABC News that such claims have no basis.

“We will not be distracted by accusations that are not supported by facts. There is another fact: more than two billion people have received reliable information about COVID-19 and vaccines on Facebook, which is more than anywhere else on the Internet,” Lever said.

She noted that more than 3.3 million Americans have used the social media tool to find information about vaccinations and how and where to get them. “The evidence is that Facebook helps save lives. Point,” concluded the press secretary.

On July 16, Biden said platforms like Facebook were "killing people" by allowing misinformation about the coronavirus pandemic and vaccines.
