The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\u2019s strategy for controlling what people see about COVID on various social media, including Facebook, was funded by $3.5 million in free ads, according to a Judicial Watch expose.<\/p>\n
The 2,469 pages of documents obtained by a Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request show communications between CDC officials and Google, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube as they planned the CDC\u2019s strategy for controlling and censoring COVID messages to the public.<\/p>\n
In one email alone, Facebook gifted the CDC with $2 million in free ads for \u201cmessaging related to coronavirus.\u201d In a different email a month later, the CDC thanked Facebook for an additional $1 million in free ads.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese documents show that Facebook and the CDC are joined at the hip on managing the ever-changing Covid-19 \u2018narrative\u2019 \u2014 which includes censorship of alleged \u2018misinformation,\u2019\u201d Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a Judicial Watch press release.<\/p>\n
