After facing criticism, Facebook has finally released a report about its most-viewed posts for the first quarter of 2021 that might have reflected poorly on the social networking giant for its handling of Covid misinformation on its platform. The New York Times first reported that the most-viewed link on Facebook in the first quarter "had a headline that could promote Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy".

Facebook policy communications manager Andy Stone tweeted on Sunday that the criticism Facebook received for not releasing the report "wasn't unfair,". "We've been getting criticism for holding an internal report until it was more favourable for us and then releasing it. Getting criticism isn't unfair. But it's worth taking a closer look -- and making note of some of the components of the story," he said.
