A coalition of 12 state attorneys general on Wednesday called on Facebook and Twitter to enforce their community guidelines and rid their services of misinformation being spread by accounts promoting anti-vaccine ideas. "Misinformation disseminated via your platforms has increased vaccine hesitancy, which will slow economic recovery and, more importantly, ultimately cause even more unnecessary deaths," the coalition of attorneys general wrote in a letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. The coalition highlights that just 12 accounts and their associated organizations are responsible for 65% of the public anti-vaccine content on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. In particular, the accounts target people of color to discourage them from getting the Covid-19 vaccines, the letter said. The letter comes a day before Zuckerberg, Dorsey and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai are set to testify before the House Energy and Commerce Committee on the topic of misinformation on their services.

A US defense official told CNN that no other forces were nearby at the time. The compound served as "the headquarters of the de facto Defeat-ISIS coalition in Syria" prior to its being vacated. Russian forces have already occupied a former US military post in the northern town of Manbij. CNN reported Tuesday that the first planeloads of US weapons and equipment have left Syria, according to another US defense official.

Instead, factions within the coalition took arms against each other, killing dozens and threatening the alliance between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Is this a proxy war between the UAE and Saudi Arabia? Riyadh is the de facto center of Yemen's government, and Hadi and his ministers spend most of their time in Saudi Arabia.
