Twitter is taking steps to stop the spread of lies about coronavirus. The social media platform will now remove tweets that include “content that increases the chance that someone contracts or transmits the virus.”
Twitter’s updated misinformation policy forms part of a broader movement among social media platforms to restrict coronavirus-related misinformation.
In a blog post of its own last updated Wednesday, Facebook said it would start to remove content containing “false claims or conspiracy theories that have been flagged by leading global health organizations and local health authorities that could cause harm to people who believe them.’
