- Twitter Inc said on Friday video clips of U.S. President Donald Trump suggesting that scientists investigate inserting light or disinfectant into coronavirus patients did not violate its COVID-19 misinformation policy. A Twitter spokeswoman told Reuters in an email that the company considered Trump's remarks a wish for a treatment for COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the virus, rather than a literal call for people to inject disinfectant.
The company previously said it was prioritizing the removal of COVID-19 misinformation that might cause harm but would not act on every tweet containing incomplete or disputed information about the disease. Trump on Friday sought to portray his comments as sarcasm. The White House earlier in the day said Trump's remarks had been taken out of context and urged people to seek coronavirus treatment only after conferring with their doctors.
"Tweets that are clearly satirical in nature, or that discuss or report on timely issues about #COVID19 without calls to action generally do not break our rules," the company wrote on an official Twitter handle. After questions from Reuters on whether YouTube policies allowed for various videos, including a video of Trump's briefing, a video parodying the president's remarks and a video making the case for his suggestion named"Trump Is Hardly Wrong in Speculating About Light Therapy and Injected Disinfectant," YouTube removed the last video.
