VisitMeta Censors Image of Trump Raising Fist After Assassination Attempt on Facebook and Instagram
Jul 29, 2024, 03:33 PM
Facebook, under the leadership of CEO Mark Zuckerberg, has begun censoring images related to a recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. The specific image in question, which shows Trump raising his fist, has been flagged by Facebook as 'misinformation' and 'altered in a way that could mislead people.' Despite Zuckerberg previously calling the image 'one of the most badass things I've ever seen,' the platform has taken steps to restrict its distribution. Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, has also extended this censorship to Instagram. The move has sparked controversy, with some arguing that the image is a powerful symbol for Trump's 2024 campaign.
