Donald Trump Jr. suspended from Twitter for posting misleading COVID-19 news
Donald Trump Jr., the president's very online son, got dealt a temporary suspension from Twitter on Monday after posting a misleading video about COVID-19.
Trump Jr. shared a video from the far-right news outlet Breitbart filled with dangerous misinformation about the coronavirus pandemic. The video touted the unproven (and sometimes dangerous) drug hydroxychloroquine, downplayed the need for masks, and questioned the expertise of doctors.
His account has apparently been frozen for 12 hours, meaning it is still up but he cannot tweet for that time period.
The message from Twitter says his account will stay up but he can only send direct messages and can't tweet, etc. for the next 12 hours.
