Facebook and Twitter are both taking action after a video shared by President Trump they say contains misinformation about the coronavirus.
"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 spokesperson Liz Bourgeois told Fox News in a statement.
In the removed video, the president told Fox & Friends that schools should remain open.
"My view is that schools should be open," Trump said. If you look at children, children are almost and I would almost say definitely but almost immune from this disease.
He added that children have "much stronger immune systems" and "just don't have a problem."

Trump campaign spokesperson Courtney Parella told Fox News that President Trump was "stating a fact that children are less susceptible to the coronavirus."
"Another day, another display of Silicon Valleys flagrant bias against this President, where the rules are only enforced in one direction," she added. "Social media companies are not the arbiters of truth.

Being allowed to run a campaign video on Facebook is functionally equivalent to sticking a sign in my yard.
If I don't want that sign in my yard anymore, it's gone.

Normally I'm against censorship, but that is absolutely a dangerous thing to post out like that. Especially when his supporters slurp everything he posts as facts. Does he not get the point of the lockdown? The point isn't that children have stronger immune systems, it's to make sure the virus doesn't fucking spread all over the place, especially to people who are susceptible to the virus. Like holy shit why don't these assholes get it?
