Twitter restricted Donald Trump Jr.'s ability to tweet after he posted a video featuring a doctor making false claims about coronavirus cures and stating that people "don't need masks" to prevent the virus from spreading, a Twitter spokesperson said Tuesday.

推特发言人周二表示，在小唐纳德.特朗普发布了一段视频后，推特限制了他发布推文的功能。视频中，一名医生对新冠的治疗发表虚假声明，并声称人们“不需要戴口罩”来防止病毒传播。

The video, which was published by the right-wing media outlet Breitbart News and went viral online on Monday, featured a group of doctors making false and dubious claims related to coronavirus, including that masks are unnecessary.

这段视频由右翼媒体布莱巴特新闻发布，并于周一在网上疯传。视频中，一群医生发表了与冠状病毒有关的虚假可疑言论，包括没有必要戴口罩。

Twitter (TWTR), Facebook (FB) and YouTube removed the video after it started to go viral.

在该视频开始走红后，推特、脸书和油管都将其删除。

President Donald Trump also retweeted multiple versions of the video on Twitter, but he did not upload a version of the video to the site. His son did, which is why Twitter only took action against Trump Jr.'s account, a company spokesperson said.

唐纳德·特朗普总统也在推特上转发了多个版本的视频，但他没有上传到该网站。公司发言人表示，是他的儿子这么做的，所以推特只对小特朗普的账户采取了行动。

'Andy Surabian, Trump Jr.'s spokesperson, had tweeted earlier that Twitter had suspended the president son's account. Twitter said in a statement that the account had "not been permanently suspended."

小特朗普的发言人安迪·苏拉宾早些时候发推文说，推特已经封停了总统儿子的账户。推特在一份声明中表示，该账户“没有被永久停用”。

Surabian said in a statement to CNN that Twitter's move was "further proof that Big Tech is intent on killing free expression online."

苏拉宾在给CNN的一份声明中表示，推特的举动“进一步证明了大型科技公司有意扼杀网络言论自由。

”Twitter has asked the President's son to delete the tweet with the video. The company has already removed it from public view.

推特已经要求总统的儿子删除这条带有视频的推特。该公司已经将其从公众视野中移除。

Surabian said in a statement to CNN that Twitter's move was "further proof that Big Tech is intent on killing free expression online."

苏拉宾在给CNN的一份声明中表示，推特的举动“进一步证明了大型科技公司有意扼杀网络言论自由。”
