Facebook, Twitter and YouTube removed posts from President Donald Trump for violating COVID-19 misinformation rules.
The post contained a video clip in which Trump claimed children are "almost immune” to COVID-19.
“This video includes false claims that a group of people is immune from COVID-19, which is a violation of our policies around harmful COVID misinformation,” a Facebook spokesperson said.
