Twitter, Facebook Censor Factual Post by President Trump
Tech giants Twitter and Facebook both cracked down on President Trump comparing COVID-19 to the seasonal flu on Tuesday, resulting in the president calling for a repeal of Section 230.
“Flu season is coming up! Many people every year, sometimes over 100,000, and despite the Vaccine, die from the Flu,” Trump tweeted. “Are we going to close down our Country? No, we have learned to live with it, just like we are learning to live with Covid, in most populations far less lethal!!!”

Twitter put up a warning that shields the tweet from followers: “This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about spreading misleading and potentially harmful information related to COVID-19. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public’s interest for the Tweet to remain accessible.”
Trump’s followers had to select “view” in order to see the message that was covered by Twitter’s warning. . .
Shortly after Trump was censored by both Facebook and Twitter, Trump tweeted, “REPEAL SECTION 230!!!”
REPEAL SECTION 230!!!
