Facebook removes Trump post for spreading COVID
Facebook, apparently, does have a line.
The social media giant removed a video from Donald Trump's official Facebook page on Wednesday. The stated reason, according to a company spokesperson, was that the post spread misinformation about the coronavirus.
"This video includes false claims that a group of people is immune from COVID-19 which is a violation of our policies around harmful COVID misinformation," confirmed the spokesperson over email.
A visit to Trump's Facebook page shows no trace of the post. When asked if Facebook would put some sort of notice in place of the now-removed video — perhaps explaining why it was removed — the spokesperson replied that's not Facebook's policy.
"Don’t think we would put notice on content we remove, so in this case the post just comes down," they clarified.
As opposed to Twitter, which has flagged Trump tweets for "abusive behavior," Facebook has been reticent to take action. Apparently, this latest video from Trump was a step too far.
Notably, a post to Trump's Twitter account also included the video that was presumably removed by Facebook.
"If you look at children," droned the president in the below clip, "children are almost — and I would almost say definitely — but, almost immune from this disease."
Tweet may have been deleted
Children are not, it bears repeating, almost or definitely immune from the coronavirus.
We reached out to Twitter to ask if the above tweet violates the company's policy on coronavirus misinformation, and a spokesperson said they would get back to us. Twitter temporarily suspended Donald Trump, Jr., for the same reason, however.
