After lobbying from CNN, Facebook on Tuesday censored a tweet by President Trump in which he stated that COVID-19 is less deadly than the seasonal flu in most populations. „Flu season is coming up! Many people every year, sometimes over 100,000, and despite the Vaccine, die from the Flu,“ the president wrote. „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 slapped a warning message on the tweet requiring the reader to click on it to view it. The message says: „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.“ Critics of the president emphasized the fact that more than 200,000 Americans have been counted as deaths related to COVID-19.
