Hell hath no fury like a tech company faced with a Republican who won’t say what they want him to.
Donald Trump Jr., son of the president and one of his top surrogates, has had his access to his Twitter account restricted after he shared a video about the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine.
According to the BBC, the social media giant took its latest swipe at a member of the Trump administration by forbidding the president’s son from posting new tweets unless he deleted a video featuring doctors discussing the potential prophylactic qualities of the antimalarial drug.
The video, featuring physicians from the controversial group America’s Frontline Doctors, had been censored by several social media networks after it was streamed by Breitbart on Monday.
Tuesday morning, Trump Jr. spokesman Andrew Surabian said the president’s son had his account suspended because he shared the video.
“BREAKING: @Twitter & [Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey] have suspended @DonaldJTrumpJr for posting a viral video of medical doctors talking about Hydroxychloroquin,” Surabian said.
“Big Tech is the biggest threat to free expression in America today & they’re continuing to engage in open election interference – full stop.”
