Facebook removed a post fromPresident Trump’s page on its social network for violating the company’s policy on coronavirus misinformation.
In Central Valley and other conservative parts of California, small but significant numbers of Republican voters have turned against Trump.Facebook has been criticized in recent months by those who say the company has failed to enforce its information policies against Trump. A third-party auditor said last month that Facebook didn’t follow its policies regarding voter suppression in not acting against the president’s post in late May that included misleading information about mail-in voting.
Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg has said that fighting misinformation on COVID-19 is easier than on other topics because the company has reliable sources to help determine what is true, including the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization.“Children and adolescents are just as likely to become infected as any other age group and can spread the disease,” according to the World Health Organization website.
