Twitter's warning label says the tweet "violated the Twitter Rules about spreading misleading and potentially harmful information related to Covid-19." "We placed a public interest notice on [President Trump's] Tweet for violating our Covid-19 Misleading Information Policy by making misleading health claims about Covid-19," a Twitter spokesperson said. On Tuesday, Facebook removed a post from the President's account after he falsely claimed the flu is more lethal than Covid-19. Twitter is trying to persuade the public that it's ready for the election by rolling out new policies to rein in disinformation. The new rules will likely force the platform to more aggressively fact-check President Donald Trump during the final months of the 2020 campaign.
