Twitter gives Trump Jr a tweet timeout for pandemic misinformation

Twitter Trump Jr Timeout

Twitter has temporarily halted US President Donald Trump’s son from tweeting on its site after he shared a video riddled with unsupported claims about coronavirus.

Many Republicans reacted with outrage, filling social media with cries of “censorship” after Donald Trump Jr’s account was put on a timeout for sharing the video, which was viewed millions of times online in a matter of hours, reaching the president himself, before Facebook, Twitter and YouTube banned it.
