Facebook has been softer on the president than other social networksPresident Trump was challenged by Facebook and Twitter last night after claiming that children are “almost immune” to coronavirus. The president made the claim in an interview with Fox News, which was posted to his Facebook page but removed by the social network shortly after. “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,” a Facebook spokesman said. It is the first time that Facebook has taken such a measure against the president. The same clip was posted on Twitter by the Trump campaign’s account.
