In other world news twitter has sent prairie restricted president Donald TrumpsCampaign Team from tweeting it was in response to the account sharing video of a fox news interview with charm where he made false claims about the coronavirus links to the tweets now arrive at this page twitter says the polls violated its rules on covert 1000 misinformation and the owner must remove it before they can tweet again the campaign appears sort of complied. Facebook removed the same video from President Trumps main page mike hanna has more from washington. Well President Trump stated in that interview phone interview with Fox Television that children are almost immune from coburg 19 or virtually immune he said as well at a different stage now this is clearly an peyton falls the centers for Disease Research research the c. D. C. Says that some quarter of a 1000000 children have contracted to corona virus and at least 6 have actually died of egg and acute inflammatory situation stemming directly from coburg so this is clearly incorrect but what has got to be looked at as well is the context that President Trump has used this phrase virtually immune he has done it before in public on a number of occasions and the context is his absolute insistence that schools must open in the us in their entirety he does not want Virtual Education he wants all the classes to open at the beginning of the new school year because he argues the economy cannot provide and this children are back in school freeing their parents to go to work so this is the context of these repeated false woods being made by President Trump with regard to children and covert 901 lets speak to rob pegoraro about this hes a freelance tech writer for fast company usa today and forbes is via skype from washington very good to have you with us on aljazeera twitter has been aggressive in the past with President Trumps tweets labeling several tweets from the president misleading but rocking his campaign from tweeting is quite significant are you at all surprised that they finally did this. I have more so facebook and Twitter Twitter seems to decided a while ago and crossed all ends. The and in those clearly misinformation misleading and demick breaks those rules but for instance when trump suggested that somehow and ingesting bleach or disinfectant might treat the coronavirus facebook that stay up because the argument was you didnt tell people to do that and now facebook is better that it will actually block hostings from president yeah as you say facebook until now had resisted taking strong action and mocked that has long been a proponent of free speech on his site what do you think led to this shift in position from facebook. I guess it is there with 257000 americans dead from this disease thats part of it and i think also this book this story clearly over the last few years weve seen the do not want to upset to new people around the president to the extent where a very pro trumpet inaccurate news source like great art does not get banned does not get what gets a privilege spot in the face that missed out on their mobile app. And they have gotten a lot of criticism including from a lot of fiscal ploys. Because trying not to get sense to the president and his supporters and imagine the fact that they were nosing advertisers also might have led to the shift in position it is in business ties or is dont want to be in a place. I would assume that having a say with conspiracy theories would not make it. Right a model that a bright face some tough questions on capitol hill last week especially from republicans who were basically accusing him of censoring conservative voices do you think actions such as these will drive more people away from facebook or on the contrary or actions like this too late to think i dont think this is going to drop to drop too many way from facebook the complaints people have about it i was just writing both here but the rest are so special were number one complaint right is not is facebook mean to conservatives or not is different true that some of the same people in that House Committee hearing. And the other executives of being biased against republican voices will have another talking point even though actual evidence of that bias i havent seen it transcends to done very well using facebook as a megaphone is certainly has been a mislead large audience i thank you so much for talking to us and sharing it is a rob pegoraro a freelance writer joining us there from washington thank you for your time thanks.
