President Trump’s tweet of a video clip from a Fox News interview — in which he said that children are “almost immune” from covid-19 — violates the site’s rules against misinformation, the company said. Twitter hid the post and said he will not be able to tweet from his account until he deletes it, although he can appeal the decision.

What a joke. Children are “almost immune” based on actual data

I heard him say it and he even said basically “I have to be careful because the media will take what I say the wrong way.... they are “almost” immune”

What a fricking joke... twitter is the herpes of social media

Jack has been getting pressured to do this since Trump questioned Obama’s obviously foreign birth. Finally built up enough bullshite rules to do it.

twatter Jack feeling emboldened. Seems to me that twatter seems to not only to be content censoring, but trying to usurp functions of federal government health agencies.

This could get interesting with a quickness.

When did this new Twitter mod ruling on bans take effect? There are thousands if not millions of posts each day that would meet the criteria. But twitter selectively decides what to ban.

This specific instance is very very Orwellian.

So how is his trump wrong... What does “almost” quantify as and who’s the authority?

I think Trump says stupid shite, but this is fricking ridiculous. I hope Trump burns twitter to the ground.

Time to defund the radical Left. Seriously, anybody notice that the ultra-wealthy are nearly exclusively progressives hellbent on changing the country you live in? Why are we afraid to hurt hurt them the only place they hurt?

Children are incredibly unlikely to die, and the overwhelming majority have mild symptoms, but they're not "almost immune"

You wouldn't say kids are almost immune from the common cold just because it's mild when it happens.

That being said, of course Twitter is hypocritical as frick.
