Facebook, Twitter remove Trump coronavirus posts of Fox

Facebook took down a post from President Trump's personal page of a Fox News interview in which he said that children are “almost immune” from COVID-19. "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,” Facebook said in a statement. It was the first time Facebook has removed a post by the president for violating its policies on COVID-19 misinformation. Twitter also took action late Wednesday. "The Tweet you referenced is in violation of the Twitter Rules on COVID-19 misinformation. The account owner will be required to remove the tweet before they can tweet again," the company said in a statement to USA TODAY.
