• https://www.prisonplanet.com, by Steve Watson

Twitter continued to crack down on anyone sharing the viral video of a group of doctors touting hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) as a Covid-19 "cure" Tuesday, removing a tweet containing a link to the video by Breitbart News and locking the outlet's account.

Breitbart announced that its video of America's Frontline Doctors was removed from Twitter with the justification from the platform that "tweets with the video are in violation of our Covid-19 misinformation policy."

"Footage of the livestream on Periscope, Twitter's livestreaming platform, had generated 1 million views before being removed by the site." Breitbart noted.

The outlet added that "Footage on Facebook had accumulated over 17 million views within 8 hours and had 185,000 concurrent viewers at the time it was streamed."

"On YouTube, a clip from the event received 80,000 views before being removed by the platform for 'violating YouTube's Community Guidelines.'" the report added.
