Twitter has
wielded the big axe against Donald Trump Jr. after he retweeted a video making
bogus claims on coronavirus cure.
The social
media has restricted him from posting any tweets, claiming he shared
‘potentially harmful information’.
Trump Jr
posted a link Monday evening to a viral video of Nigeria-trained doctor, Stella
Immanuel, claiming hydroxychloroquine is a ‘cure’ for coronavirus.
‘We’ve
temporarily limited some of your account features,’ the Twitter notice to the
president’s eldest son reads.
‘We have
determined that this account violated the Twitter Rules. Specifically, for: 1.
Violating the policy on spreading misleading and potentially harmful
information related to COVID-19,’ it continued.

Jr. Twitter message
Andrew
Surabian, a spokesman to Don Jr., posted an image of the notice to Twitter
Tuesday morning, lamenting: ‘Big Tech is the biggest threat to free expression
in America today & they’re continuing to engage in open election
interference – full stop.’
While Don
Jr.’s account is in this restricted state for an unidentified period of time,
he can still send direct messages on the platform and browse Twitter.
