Meta has such a capitalistic policy in place for COVID posts. I understand they want to block misinformation, but hiding all COVID content from recommended posts and instead redirecting people to the CDC and WHO websites that rarely and quietly update with important information isn't the answer.

Facebook basically blocks any posts mentioning COVID anywhere (in the images, text, link, etc.) from being seen while Instagram will hide from recommendations any posts mentioning COVID in the text body. HOWEVER, Insta will show you ads for masks and testing that do mention COVID.

I'd say it's absolute hypocrisy, but it's just par for the course of monetizing what you can, when you can, while also making sure you stay on the social trend of "the virus that must not be named" #Meta #Facebook #Instagram #CovidIsNotOver
