Social media site pulls videos by group that Tory MP told to persist with its anti-lockdown activities
Videos published by a “coronavirus denier” group that was told by the Conservative MP Sir Desmond Swayne to persist with its anti-lockdown activities have been removed from Facebook after the social network concluded they posed a risk of “imminent physical harm”.
More than 60,000 people followed the Save Our Rights UK group, which drew wider attention on Thursday after it emerged Swayne had used a November interview to make baseless claims that NHS figures had been manipulated to exaggerate the scale of the coronavirus crisis.
