Facebook and Instagram to Ban False Claims About Coronavirus The policy would remove posts <br />that promote fake cures for the virus. It would also stop misinformation <br />about how to prevent contracting it. The social media giant says <br />health organizations will help it <br />track down any signs of false claims. Instagram hashtags related to <br />conspiracy theories concerning <br />Coronavirus are also prohibited. Facebook adds it will help <br />guide users to accurate information. It will also send notifications if posts with conspiracy theories are shared. Facebook's move comes after the Coronavirus was <br />labeled a global health emergency by the WHO. The decision also follows <br />the platform's attempt to limit <br />fake information about vaccines. Up to 19 countries have now confirmed <br />cases of Coronavirus, which has <br />infected thousands of people.
