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.

Sounds like a conspiracy.

And much like the Twitter argument, isn’t his FB page considered to be a public record?

I think Facebook may have actually pulled it down first.

Apparently the Twitter account was his campaign account, not his personal one he uses for typical tweets.

Something is planned or they are terrified of something.
This is way to coordinated.

I feel like the word “almost” is important. Maybe practically would have been better?

The coup continues

Essentially
For all intents and purposes
Almost
They mean basically the same thing

The polls must be showing trends they do not like.

What Trump said is factually incorrect, but this is an absurdly hypocritical move and awfully convenient time to start policing misinformation.

If he says children are rarely impacted severely, he's fine.
It's the "immune" part that really fans the misinformation flames. However, still a bitch move from Twitter/FB.

Right, I don't disagree, but for Twitter to do this is simply ridiculous, because they are not consistent about the practice at all. It's very subjective and mostly is bent against right leaning tweets.

Agreed 100%. They're going to target Trump over what is basically semantics, meanwhile, the narrative the police are hunting down black people runs rampant.
