Misinformation continues to spread on social media, and it appears the same has occurred on one of the world's most popular e-commerce platforms. The listings target fearful consumers through deceptive language. Sellers describe their cleansers, surgical face masks, and sprays as capable of "killing" the coronavirus and, in some listings, they go as far as name-dropping well-respected agencies such as the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control.

It's unclear what progress came out of the meeting and how technology companies plan to do more than just fact-check user-generated content around the clock.
