Facebook Inc. and Twitter Inc. on Wednesday removed a video posted by President Trump in which he said children are “almost immune from this disease,” a claim that the companies said ran afoul their rules against harmful misinformation about Covid-19.
The video clip—a portion of an interview aired on Fox News—attracted roughly 450,000 views on Facebook before it was taken down, according to CrowdTangle, a Facebook-owned analytics company. It also drew thousands of comments and was reshared nearly 2,000 times.

Sad. Social media censoring for political motives at it's nefarious finest. Did Elon Musk have a similar content post that is still posted? Love Elon's work, drive and accomplishments guess it is the source that matters not the facts.
This is not misinformation! Children are more likely to die from influenza or pneumonia than covid! Don't let liberal media censor facts that don't fit their agenda!
But COVID cases are all around twitter, but it's known there are many false positives tracked including hospitals to list Covid-19 as the cause of death regardless of whether or not there’s actual testing to confirm that’s the case.
So Twitter finally took action as well. As usual, a day late & a dollar short.
children are almost immune from the coronavirus
oh, so does that mean ALL misinformation about the virus will be taken down from all of these fake news media sources? it's obvious the numbers are inaccurate... (1/2)
Lets talk about censorship from FACEBOOK. They censor the right but, not the left. The left says lets have a discussion but, when there is a discussion it is usurped.
Facebook should not censor the US President! How is that legal? They should be Fined and disallowed from further such activity.
Children dont get it. It's very unlikely a child will get it HCQ WORKS.
Twitter suspended the Trump campaign account. Election interference!!!
Facebook & Twitter censoring is election interference..
He is so clueless about the Coronavirus. He should ensure he gives the facts. Teachers and students are already being infected at the schools. Highly infected areas should be studying from home right now. Wear your mask.
About time someone stands up for goodness.
Facebook and Twitter need to keep realDonaldTrump’s video UP to show just how unqualified he is to contribute to any discussions on covid19 or ReopeningSchools. Our POTUS spews nonsense like a crazy grandpa at Thanksgiving but is 1000x more dangerous bc people believe him.
This is what happens when an ignorant conspiracy theory idiot is allowed to occupy the Oval Office. Trump's lies must be called out by society as a whole, not just by social media companies. ByeDon2020 Biden2020
AWorldOutOfMind Finally showing some backbone.
“Almost immune” is like saying realDonaldTrump really has a tan
Good. They should remove more I'm tired of him always lying to us. He has no shame. NotMyPresident
Out of the many thousands of deaths in New Jersey, one was under 18. A single one out of thousands. They had diabetes.
He's not wrong though. The CDC state themselves its rare for children to have major side effects from this virus and they account for less than 1% of the total deaths. You are letting your hatred for Trump get in the way of facts.
Imagine saying that to parents who lost their children to Covid.
Propaganda and lies from the trump campaign via the propaganda network FoxNews. Let’s not leave their precious role out.
It is a shame to remove such funny tweets. We want to see such comedy from the big orange clown. I don't think that anyone really takes anything from him seriously.
I mean... really? Why does he continue to push false narrative(s)?
They should have been doing this all along! HE LIES, MISLEADS, GASLIGHTS everyday!!!!
Let him keep having conferences 👍😂
But, they are... not being insensitive to people who have lost children but statistically this is true.
Well, he isn't wrong though
But that's true tho
He is killing people. Everyone, including their children, should stay at home! At least until we have a vaccine.
My goodness. What does 'almost immune' even mean?
Children are. I’m talking to a pediatric MD that specializes in diseases of the respiratory system. In fact our schools are in session 5 days a week and kids don’t have to wear muzzles because science matters
BringCyndiHome Please help my family bring my younger sister home to lay her to rest in peace. Every dollar matters and is appreciated. If you cannot afford to donate, please RT and share across platforms. My family is devastated and needs your help.
I hope parents who end up with sick children or even lose them to COVID-19 sue foxnews for misinforming them.
We really need clarification on what a child is in the statistical terms because if you look at the statistics a person under the age of 5 has a higher chance of getting struck by lightning than dying from covid 19
This is why I’m not on Facebook anymore
No conflict of interest here. Nope.
Bye bye boomers. Please boycott. Make social media young again
Lol look at the all the butthurt boomers who dont understand private businesses. Lol adult white babies all crying about social media ON social media is probably The most funny things ever. Of all time
cooperchip1 realDonaldTrump has no problem killing adults with his malevolent ineptness & not handling COVID. Now, he's not happy with throwing children in cages anymore... He wants them dead, too... (& is willing to blatantly lie to do it.) He's REPEATEDLY proven that he doesn't care.
speaking of children...
Children probably die less from this virus than lightning.
Tangential note. The genesis of Facebook: A site rating the physical apperance of coeds. This is your chosen moral compass?
Trump really needs to stop lying
Almost immune I wouldn't risk my child's life on an almost immune coming from the Chief Liar himself
Can't the POTUS stick to what he knows best. We have doctors to comment on the pandemic. He just needs to shut up and listen.
Note SOURCE of data- CDC
Most of us know social media is pretty much BS. There shouldn’t be censoring. Unfortunately, much of our population is just as scientifically illiterate as our President and they are easily misled. Still not right to take down his misinformed posts.
Time is up‼️
Yet they allow news organs Democrats to spew lies all the time. How is that? They allow BLM to spread lies yet nothing.
Mortality rate once you get coronavirus: Age 5 - 9 = 0.0016% Age 10 - 19 = 0.00032% Age 20 - 49 = 0.0092% Age 50 - 64 = 0.14% Age 65 and older = 5.6% Trump is 100% right. Children RARELY die of COVDI-19.
All of us deserve accurate information...anything else just contributes to this sh*t show we've been living in.
It’s true
We have a right to see and hear what the President has to say. Regardless of accuracy. It is not Big Tech's job to decide for us. Regardless of where you stand in politics, this should alarm you.
Round of applause to Zuckerberg for doing the literal bare minimum, jesus christ. The proliferation of misinformation on large platforms is dangerous & I can’t believe it’s taken some this long to /maybe/ invest in an ethics department in their company to tackle issues like this
Shame on Twitter , this is a serious attack to our democracy
How is this a rule for what he is saying? Hummm.... Who says? 🔥🤣🌕
😐
Great; now twitter please also close khamenei_ir accoo,who is promoting violence and killing innocent people everyday in Iran. Twitter is illegal for ordinary Iranians however government is free to take advantage of this platform.
I feel much safer with facebook deciding what information I can have access to.
It's too much, enough is enough!
EVargasTV Updated: August 5, 2020 - 12:30 PM A 7-month-old baby who died recently tested positive for COVID-19 after death, according to health officials in New Jersey.
This is exactly whst censorship is!
Trump’s a pathological liar
Let's thank our corporate overlords for controlling what information we receive. Oir brains are too soft to decide for ourselves what is right and wrong.
Finally, somebody needs to be the adult in the room
but he told truth
The he should be too since he’s such a child.
wesbury where is your COVID death chart by age range? Will jack Twitter take it down too?
Not to worry, a lot of us already know that Covid-19 is more deadly the older a person is, with 80% of deaths among those 65 and older.
Libs hate facts.
Like Twitter and Facebook technoweenies have a clue about coronavirus?! Pure partisan suppression of information.
Big brother is here
FoxNews you should be ashamed that this obvious lie went unchecked by the 3 nitwits of foxandfriends .
And Facebook and Twitter claim there is no bias. SURE...... MediaBias CancelFacebook CancelTwitter boycottfacebook boycotttwitter
catherine_lucey Trump will call his buddies at Microsoft to buy Twitter tomorrow!
Mr. Trump, you have an excessive confidence in you personal knowledge, which mislead people. Understand this.
A fine of 2 billion $ each?
Censorship
The CDC says ....
Except...what Trump said is true. The global data on Covid19 shows the virus has a negligible effect on children...unlike the flu. Censorship is real and very dangerous.

Trump, who had to take a BASIC COGNITIVE ASSESSMENT TEST, is again, blatantly lying, again. And people support, excuse, rationalize this vulgar, corrupt semi-literate conman. Utterly disgusting.
He is practicing nut presidency, he is the culprit of COVID19 pandemic.
He is killing people
Poor choice of words, as usual, but he’s basically right.
DarcysCartoon Twitter has joined the likes of Wapo & CNN. Garbage propagandists.
In he's almost not stupid almost 🤡
Yet, he’s right. And they’re wrong. Grotesquely sickening.
Well, guess who just grew a spine...
meanwhile the rest of us get timeouts for way way less.
