> Biden allied groups, including the Democratic National Committee, are also planning to engage fact-checkers more aggressively and work with SMS carriers to dispel misinformation about vaccines that is sent over social media and text messages. The goal is to ensure that people who may have difficulty getting a vaccination because of issues like transportation see those barriers lessened or removed entirely.
> “We are steadfastly committed to keeping politics out of the effort to get every American vaccinated so that we can save lives and help our economy further recover,” White House spokesperson Kevin Munoz said. “When we see deliberate efforts to spread misinformation, we view that as an impediment to the country's public health and will not shy away from calling that out.”

How do they say plan managing disinformation sent over SMS? This seems… alarming? Do people get disinformation text messages about vaccines? I can’t say I have.

'More reputable' is subjective based on your own bubble and frame of reference. The OP's link is 'right biased' your link is 'left biased'. I generally try to read a little bit of everything, with a huge grain of salt, and there is no way to read this action as anything other than 'oppressive' imo. Just look at the whole lab leak fiasco for a very recent example of why this type of censorship is awful for both truth and science.
Sadly I've not found a news source that simply reports known facts.

First, my political views are right-wing.
Second, while Zero Hedge does report on interesting/lesser known stories, they take very strong opinions on the story.
For example, "Trying to 'fact check' people’s personal conversations is utterly demented." While I wholeheartedly agree with that sentence, it is nonetheless an opinion, not a fact.
Where possible, I prefer articles that state facts and leave the opinion-making to the reader.

#6What can regular people even do about this? It's a disgusting overreach if it ends up happening. And if it's all being performed by private companies, in industries where there is very little choice of competitors, there's no violation of rights and no way for us to avoid having our private messages be scrutinized by some authority.

You will never find this, because it can not exist.
There are so many variables. Not just word choice, but which facts do you report? If something is highly important, but you only have about 60% certainty, how do you share that?
Your only option is to triangulate.

Probably the same way Facebook and Twitter censor private messages.
It’s just unencrypted data.

#10Politics aside this isn't going to be technically possible apart from plain SMS. iMessage and WhatsApp are encrypted so it won't be possible to intercept and fact check them.
