Twitter, Facebook censor Trump's message comparing coronavirus to flu
Trump calls for a repeal of Section 230 as a result
By Brian Flood | Fox News
Tech giants Twitter and Facebook both cracked down on President Trump comparing COVID-19 to the seasonal flu on Tuesday, resulting in the president calling for a repeal of Section 230.
“Flu season is coming up! Many people every year, sometimes over 100,000, and despite the Vaccine, die from the Flu,” Trump tweeted. “Are we going to close down our Country? No, we have learned to live with it, just like we are learning to live with Covid, in most populations far less lethal!!!”
Twitter put up a warning that shields the tweet from followers: “This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about spreading misleading and potentially harmful information related to COVID-19. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public’s interest for the Tweet to remain accessible.”
Trump’s followers had to select “view” in order to see the message that was covered by Twitter’s warning.
Facebook removed a similar message from Trump that broke the platform’s rules for COVID-related misinformation. The now-removed post compared coronavirus to the seasonal flu.
“We remove incorrect information about the severity of COVID-19, and have now removed this post," Facebook spokesperson Andy Stone told Fox News.
Shortly after Trump was censored by both Facebook and Twitter, Trump tweeted, “REPEAL SECTION 230!!!”
Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 states that "no provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider."
The section has been pivotal in the rise of today's social media giants by allowing not only internet service providers but also Google, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and others to be shielded from liability from content posted on their platforms by third parties, in most cases.
But critics believe that Google and other companies should no longer benefit from the protections of Section 230.
Trump signed an executive order in May that could remove some big tech protections if companies engage in "selective censorship" harmful to national discourse. The order came shortly after Twitter attached fact-check warnings to some of the president's tweets.
"Section 230 was not intended to allow a handful of companies to grow into titans controlling vital avenues for our national discourse under the guise of promoting open forums for debate, and then to provide those behemoths blanket immunity when they use their power to censor content and silence viewpoints that they dislike," the executive order stated.

前十位死亡原因
2018年5月24日
在2016年全球5690万例死亡中，半数以上（54%）由10个原因导致。缺血性心脏病和中风是世界最大的杀手，2016年共造成1520万例死亡。这两种疾病在过去15年中一直是全球的主要死亡原因。
2016年慢性阻塞性肺病夺走了300万人的生命，而肺癌（连同气管和支气管癌）造成170万人死亡。糖尿病在2016年导致了160万人死亡，而2000年时不到100万人。痴呆症导致的死亡在2000年至2016年期间增加了一倍以上，在死亡原因中的排名由2000年的第14名上升为2016年的第五名。
下呼吸道感染仍然是最致命的传染病，2016年在全世界造成300万人死亡。2000年至2016年期间，腹泻病死亡人数减少了近100万，但在2016年仍然导致140万人死亡。同期，结核病死亡人数也同样有所减少，但仍是十大死亡原因之一，死亡人数为130万人。艾滋病毒/艾滋病不再是世界十大死因之一，2016年死亡人数为100万人，而2000年为150万人。
2016年，道路交通伤害造成140万人死亡，其中约四分之三（74%）为男性成年和未成年人。
2016年，低收入国家的一半以上死亡是由所谓“第一类”疾病造成的，其中包括传染病、孕产原因，妊娠和分娩期间出现的病症以及营养缺陷症。相比之下，高收入国家的死亡人数不到7%是由这些原因造成的。下呼吸道感染是所有收入组别的主要死亡原因之一。
非传染性疾病导致全球死亡的71%，从低收入国家的37%到高收入国家的88%不等。高收入国家的10个主要死亡原因中除1个外，其余都是非传染性疾病。然而，就绝对死亡人数而言，全球78%的非传染性疾病死亡发生在低收入和中等收入国家。
2016年，伤害夺走了490万人的生命。其中四分之一以上（29%）由道路交通伤害导致。低收入国家的道路交通伤害死亡率最高，每10万人29.4例死亡（全球比率为每10万人18.8例）。低收入、中低收入和中高收入国家的10个主要死亡原因中也有道路交通伤害。

新闻稿
2017年12月14日 | 日内瓦 - 根据美国疾病控制和预防中心、世卫组织和全球卫生合作伙伴的最新估计，每年多达65万人死于由季节性流感引起的呼吸道疾病。
这比上次在十多年前提出的25万至50万全球估计数有所增加，上一次的数字涵盖所有与流感有关的死亡，包括心血管疾病或糖尿病。29万至65万这一最新死亡数是根据来自一组范围更大、更加多样化的国家（包括中低收入国家）的最近数据得出的，并且排除了由非呼吸道疾病导致的死亡。
世卫组织突发卫生事件规划执行主任Peter Salama博士说：“这些数字表明了流感的高负担及其对世界带来的巨大社会和经济代价，凸显了预防季节性流感流行，以及为大流行做好准备的重要性”。
这些估计数顾及到最近开展的流感呼吸道死亡率研究结果，包括本周四（12月14日）发表在《柳叶刀》杂志上由美国疾病控制和预防中心开展的一项研究。
根据美国疾病控制和预防中心的数据，多数死亡发生在75岁以上的人群中间和世界上最为贫穷的地区。撒哈拉以南非洲是世界上流感死亡风险最高的地区，紧随其后的是东地中海和东南亚地区。
“所有国家，无论贫富和大小，都必须在下一次大流行到来之前共同努力控制流感疫情。这包括建立发现和应对疫情的能力，加强卫生系统，以改善最为脆弱和最为危险人群的健康状况，” Salama博士说。
五岁以下儿童中由于与流感相关的下呼吸道感染而导致的死亡几乎全部发生在发展中国家，但是季节性流感流行对全球最贫穷人口的影响尚不十分清楚。
世卫组织正与合作伙伴携手评估全球流感疾病负担，通过向会员国提供指导和专门知识来衡量流感疾病负担及其经济后果。
预计未来几年对其他疾病（如可能与流感有关的心血管疾病）进一步开展的监测和实验室研究，会大幅抬高估计数字。
世卫组织鼓励各国注重流感预防，并提出国家估计数，以便为预防政策提供信息。建议每年接种流感疫苗，以预防疾病和流感感染并发症。对严重流感并发症和死亡风险较高的人群以及卫生工作者而言，疫苗接种尤为重要。
季节性流感是一种急性病毒性感染，很容易在人与人之间传播，并在全球范围内流行。大多数人无需就医就可在一周内康复。与可导致死亡的季节性流感相关的常见呼吸道疾病包括肺炎和支气管炎。
世卫组织的流感疾病负担工作组由来自全印度医学研究所、新加坡国立大学、南非国家传染病研究所、美国疾病控制和预防中心、危地马拉山谷大学和爱丁堡大学的专家组成。
