A video containing dubious information about the coronavirus that was widely shared on social media on July 27, including by US president Donald Trump, is backed by a conservative activist group called the Tea Party Patriots.
Facebook Inc, Twitter Inc and YouTube pulled the video, which featured a group calling itself America’s Frontline Doctors touting the drug hydroxychloroquine as an effective treatment, from their websites because it violated their rules on spreading misinformation about the virus.
