Twitter has taken action against Fox News host Laura Ingraham, removing a tweet she published on March 20 for violating the platform's policies against spreading misleading coronavirus information.
A Twitter spokesperson confirmed the deletion to The Hollywood Reporter on Monday. To deal with an onslaught of virus misinformation, Twitter announced two weeks ago that it has broadened the "definition of harm to address content that goes directly against guidance from authoritative sources of global and local public health information." In recent days, Ingraham has used her show to advocate for the use of hydroxychloroquine as a potential treatment for coronavirus, citing anecdotal evidence of success.
