 Doesn't mean Anything if one Can't prove that DT is Wrong

When you have DT making more than 20,000 false and misleading claims in the past, it wouldn’t take much proving by Twitters to issue the disclaimer. As Fact Checker called him a Bottomless Pinocchio.

President of the United States being called out for false info on a world leading social media platform - astonishing people voting for this <deleted> 

wait a minute .. only half (or so) of the usa idiots voted for him 

Twitters opinion is just that, their opinion. You either run a free speech platform, or you use censorship, once upon a time Americans were quite fond of their freedom of speech, perhaps that got cancelled.

 

Still, censoring the US President, regardless of your opinion of him, seems yet another step towards totalitarianism. What would have happened if Twitter had censored Obama?

Obama doesn't spout lies.

Latest scientific information is people can catch a second dose of Covid 19. So TWITTER are correct in putting a signal on Trumps ravings. Why can't this man obey any rules is it because he does not understand them or is it because he really believes he is infallible.

No he is just stupid, and you can't fix stupid.

Nonsense. Most, if not all, social media platforms got rules regulating content, including sanctions against those breaching such rules. It's not an either/or issue. Freedom of speech, even outside social media, is not unlimited nor unchecked.

 

What you call 'Twitter's opinion' is supported by fact, and acceptable assessments. What Trump posted - not so much.

 

Censoring a USA President is a step toward totalitarianism? As opposed to letting said President spew whatever he feels like without any constraints? Or opposed to not enforcing rules applicable for any other user on the President? Come to that, the President doesn't really have to use Twitter that extensively - it's a choice.

 

What if this, what if that. Is Obama spreading misinformation on Twitter?

It’s curious how you suddenly rely on fact checkers, given your constant arguments that they can’t be trusted.

 

Odd too how you recognize an Obama lie, but can’t recognize any of the tens of thousands of Trump lies.

I feel that you are a misguided individual; that's an opinion. If I say that your brain has been brainwashed by Steven Miller using his telepathic wave; that's a lie. Trump insinuated the latter and therefore ran foul of Tweeter's rule and policy of free speech.

 

Not censuring the President's propaganda is a step towards authoritarian and totalitarianism. Obama is not in the same lying class and he don't use his tweets like official statements. Try to grasp the difference.

He can say whatever he want's. Freedom of Speech comes to mind.

Freedom of speech is a constitutional protection from government muzzles. And even that has limits: You don't yell "fire" in a full cinema without legal consequences. 

Twitter is a private platform and you enter in a contract with them when you sign up. If Twitter's rules state that you are not supposed to spread lies, against the scientific consensus, such as injecting or ingesting bleach to cure Covid, Twitter can delete your excretions; or flag them as bogus. Then you can go to right-wing platforms such as Parler, Fox or call Limbaugh on his radion show and enjoy your freedom of speech there by whining about the injustice done to you by Twitter.

Doesn't sound like Dangerous Misinfo to me ,but hey Maybe I look at things a bit different. ???? 

From Trump's tweet:

 

"That means I can't get it (immune), and can't give it. "

 

That is speculation at best, there is no proof.  Leading people to believe that if they've had Covid 19 they are both immune and incapable of spreading the disease approximately one week after symptoms disappear can induce them to engage in dangerous, disease spreading behavior.  That is dangerous misinformation.

Right.  It's a good thing nobody censors Kim Jong Un, Putin, Xi, et al.  That could lead to totalitarianism in their countries. 

 

Just imagine how bad Nazi Germany would have turned out if Hitler's speeches were censored because someone thought they were hate speech.

How Long Does Immunity Last After COVID-19? What We Know

For those who recover from even mild cases of COVID-19, new research shows immunity to the virus probably lasts at least 3 months, and may last much longer.

 So was he technically correct in the end? IMO he has not been forgiven for shaking off the deadly virus so easily and effortlessly. His real sin. It was not the outcome many hoped for.

At least you are honest to say that it probably lasts at least 3 months. Fact of the matter is that no health official can answer for certain since covid-19 hasn't exist long enough to tell. Even CDC in their website acknowledged that an exact timeframe for protection against re-infection is still in question because "the virus is too young". However the bigger question is when and whether Trump been tested. He and his medical advisers have been cagey on this and that is the real sin to himself, WH staffs and supporters that will attend his rallies.

From your source:

 

"According to Lauren Rodda, PhD, a senior postdoctoral fellow in immunology at the University of Washington School of Medicine, we don’t know for certain if people are immune to reinfection simply because not enough studies have been done yet."

 

"However, she said that work has been done by her research team, as well as others, showing that antibodies against the virus are maintained for at least 3 months."

 

"Sperber further advised that until we do understand more, it’s best to continue to take precautions, such as physical distancing and mask-wearing, even after you recover."

 

It's not known if the presence of antibodies means a person is immune.  It's not known if a person who is no longer exhibiting symptoms is not contagious.  It's not known if anything in Trump's post is true.
