Meta's Threads temporarily blocks COVID-19 and vaccine searches

Threads blocked searches for terms like "covid," "coronavirus," and "vaccines" as it rolls out a new search feature.
Meta says the restrictions are temporary, aiming to prevent the spread of misinformation.
Critics argue blocking COVID-19 info could hinder public health communication.
The search blocks reflect Meta's Hands-off approach to moderation on Threads.
Meta plans to reintegrate COVID-19 search results once confident in their quality.
