Facebook apologizes for fact-checking Trump assassination photo

Share

Facebook apologized for mistakenly censoring a real photo of a bloodied Donald Trump post-assassination attempt, after initially targeting doctored images showing Secret Service agents smiling. The error occurred during an effort to remove a manipulated photo meant to spread misinformation. Facebook, owned by Meta, rectified the mistake, affirming the authenticity of the original photo captured by an Associated Press photographer, depicting Trump raising his fist after being shot. Meta’s action followed scrutiny and a fact-check confirming no agents were smiling, aimed at cleaning up misinformation on its platform.
