Facebook censors Trump posts for COVID-19 'misinformation' | Sky News Australia

Social media giant Facebook has taken down a post by US President Donald Trump which the company claimed violated its rules against sharing coronavirus misinformation. The post contained the above video clip from an interview with Fox & Friends on Wednesday, during which the president claimed children were "almost immune" to COVID-19.

" Facebook has taken heat from Democratic lawmakers and its own employees in recent months for not taking action on inflammatory posts by President Trump. The company previously removed ads from Trump's election campaign for breaking misinformation rules. Facebook also took down Trump posts and campaign ads that showed a red inverted triangle - claiming it was a symbol the Nazis used to identify political prisoners - for violating its policy against "organized hate".
