Tuesday morning, Facebook deleted a post by Donald Trump that shared disinformation about the flu and the coronavirus. By the time the post was deleted, hours after it had initially been made, it had been shared thousands of times and seen by tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people. We have no idea who at Facebook made the decision to delete the post, how it became aware of the post in the first place, how it decided to delete the post, or what its protocols for moderating the posts of the most powerful man in the world and the single most important source of coronavirus misinformation.

Facebook declined to answer a series of specific questions from Motherboard about how it polices Donald Trump’s content, and why it took so long to delete this post. In an email, Facebook spokesperson Andrea Vallone said that the company has “teams around the globe that deal with content questions, so coverage across all time zones, and we have our Elections Operations Center in the US up and running. The president is treated the same as other politicians.”
