The most popular social networks Facebook and Twitter yesterday removed a video in which US President Donald Trump says that children are almost immune to Covid-19, explaining that it violated the company’s rules against spreading misinformation about the coronavirus.

That video contained false claims about the alleged immunity of a certain group to Covid-19, which is a violation of our policy aimed at spreading misinformation about the disease – a Facebook spokesman said.

This is the first time that they removed a Trump announcement due to misinformation about the coronavirus.
