Facebook admitted on Monday that it had wrongly censored the viral image of Donald Trump raising his fist after an assassination attempt against him.
Facebook wrongly called the popular image of Donald Trump pumping his fist in the air after an assassination attempt against him an "altered photo," a spokesperson admitted Monday. Users across X shared reports that their Facebook accounts were labeling the image as "altered", explaining "Independent fact-checkers reviewed a similar photo and said it was altered in a way that could mislead people.
Lever confirmed the mistake when Fox News Digital reached out for a comment. The altered image Lever referenced featured the Secret Service members surrounding Trump smiling. USA Today and AFP United States previously fact-checked the images as "altered," though it confirmed the accuracy of the original image. "None of the agents in the original image are smiling as they surround Trump, who has blood on his face and his right arm in the air.
Google spokesperson later told FOX Business that there was no "manual action taken on these predictions." "Our systems have protections against Autocomplete predictions associated with political violence, which were working as intended prior to this horrific event occurring," the spokesperson wrote. "We’re working on improvements to ensure our systems are more up to date.
