Twitter temporarily restricted Trump campaign's ability to tweet over false Covid-19 claims

Twitter said on Wednesday it had restricted President Donald Trump's campaign from tweeting after its account shared a video containing false claims about the coronavirus.
The tweet, a video of Trump's interview with Fox News in which he said children are "almost immune" to the virus, "is in violation of the Twitter Rules on Covid-19 misinformation," a Twitter spokesperson said in a statement. "The account owner will be required to remove the Tweet before they can Tweet again."
The account appeared to have the ability to tweet following Twitter's statement, suggesting the campaign had complied with the order and removed the video. Twitter confirmed to CNN that the campaign's account can tweet again.
Just hours before, Facebook removed a post from Trump's main page featuring the same interview for similar reasons.

This is long overdue.

It is apparent that Trump's entire "campaign strategy" is going to revolve around posting blatantly FAKE "Narratives" on social media (and expect the platforms to play "whack-a-mole").

It is about time that Twitter got serious about cracking down on Trump's delusions and disinformation.

Has Trump and the Trump Campaign learned their lesson?

Or, can America expect this dangerous disinformation campaign (fomented by Trump) to continue?

 

The twitter totalitarians at it again.

 

Sad that Twitter cares more about truth than our POTUS.

 

Somewhere in hell Goebbels is looking up at Twitter and nodding in approval.

 

I'm sure Trump and him would have been great friends being that they both love to shovel BS propaganda and lies.

 

Nah, being a racist Goebbels would prefer to hang with Biden.

 

At Trump’s disinformation campaign.

 

Stop the spread of misinformation at the source

OMG,! This might actually make ALL campaigns become more truthful

 

Trump would put him in the very fine people category I'm sure.

 

Then, Trump hired the next closest thing:



Anyway, back to Twitter's decision, I hope that this means that any "Official Account" associated with Trump (or his campaign) will be put under a microscope to prevent a recurrence of this dangerous misinformation campaign.

 

exsquise me???

This from a poster who regularly.......................

Anyhoo

 

Seems a bit totalitarian to me.

 

Maybe trump can ban them with an EO. Weren’t you guys cheering that idea last week?

 

Do you have children?

Trump claims they're immune to the virus.

Do you believe him?

 

Do you think children are virtually immune to covid-19?

 

Burning down their own house.

Next stop:

SCOTUS

 

And somewhere in Hell, Hitler is looking up at Humpty Trumpty and nodding in approval.

 

I think Trump is not a medical practitioner and was more or less describing the exceedingly low morbidity and mortality in the pediatric population.

Once again, the lefty totalitarians take Trump literally but not seriously.

 

There are no lefty totalitarians with power in this country; this was action by the powerful liberal (Pepsi Conservative) elite.

Trump properly challenged their insane ChiFlu Hoax narrative, and had to be punished and silenced.

Welcome to 1984 Democrat style.

Next stop: World War III

 

Tell that to silicon valley.

I know the people there for over 20 years.

I know one with a 6 story home and his cats each have a floor. He of course drives a tesla.

I know another who married a friend, and now he's a show husband-like an emasculated robot. She likes to paint scenarios for me that validate her beliefs. When I explained to her why her jewelry was corroding she lit up.

They all loudly vote democrat.

Even his post office worker mom and energy utility dad.

 

Yes - you're describing liberal Democrats, aka Pepsi Conservatives. (I'd say insane liberal Democrats, but fear redundancy.)

Liberals are no more the left than cats - one to a floor please! - are mashed potatoes.

So while we violently agree on what we dislike, we are at odds over its proper name.

I'm right as usual of course.

Its not limited to govt.

 

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize twitter was run by the government, or better yet, totalitarianism had a new definition not included in the dictionary

 

I told you, you spend countless hours defending the lies the POTUS tells.
