Anti-vax group in Europe thrives online, thwarts tech effort


An anti-vaccine group that has harassed doctors and public officials in Italy and France is still active on platforms like Facebook despite efforts to rein in their abuse and misinformation. He was soon swarmed by dozens, then hundreds, then more than 1,000 hateful messages from an anti-vaccine extremist group known as V_V. The group, active in France and Italy, has harassed doctors and public health officials, vandalized government offices and tried to disrupt vaccine clinics. Alarmed by the abuse of its platform, Facebook kicked off several accounts tied to the group last December. V_V is also active on Twitter, where Reset researchers found hundreds of accounts and thousands of posts from the group.
