Meta Acknowledges It Censored Viral Photo Of Trump From Butler Rally, Claims “This Was An Error”
By Danielle
Meta, the parent company of Facebook, admitted it censored the iconic photo of a bleeding Donald Trump pumping his fist after the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.
“This was an error. This fact check was initially applied to a doctored photo showing the secret service agents smiling, and in some cases our systems incorrectly applied that fact check to the real photo. This has been fixed and we apologize for the mistake,” Meta spokeswoman Dani Lever said.
