Facebook Inc and Twitter took action on posts from U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday for violating their rules against coronavirus misinformation by suggesting that COVID-19 was just like the flu. Facebook took the post down but not before it was shared about 26,000 times, data from the company`s metric tool CrowdTangle showed. "We remove incorrect information about the severity of COVID-19," a company spokesman said.
