Trump Covid post deleted by Facebook and hidden by Twitter
Facebook has deleted a post in which President Trump had claimed Covid-19 was "Less lethal" than the flu. The President has reacted by posting: "REPEAL SECTION 230!!!". Shortly after Twitter put a warning label on his posts for the first time in May, Mr Trump signed an executive order to repeal Section 230. Posts in pro-Trump and anti-mask Facebook groups have shared the comments with captions about the pandemic not being real, or not very serious. Early on in the pandemic, the BBC investigated the human cost of misinformation, including those who fell seriously ill because social media posts led them to doubt the reality or severity of the pandemic and ignore advice.
