Editor’s note: This report will not be posted on Must Read Alaska’s Facebook page because the company is deplatforming conservatives. Join us over on X/Twitter.
Anchorage resident Jay McDonald was one of those who found that a photo he had posted on social media of Donald Trump right after the assassination attempt on July 13 was blocked by Facebook.
He wasn’t the only one. Soon, others were writing about their same experiences. People were posting on X/Twitter their experiences with Facebook’s election interference.
The photo was of Donald Trump triumphantly raising his fist after being shot in the ear. People who posted the photo showed that the image was blocked and blurred by Facebook, with the message that it was an “altered photo.”
The photo that McDonald posted was put on his Facebook page the same day as the shooting in Butler, Penn. and is the same photo that has been seen millions of times around the world.
Dani Lever, a communications employee for Facebook eventually took to X/Twitter to explain that the removal of the photo was an “error.”
Critics note, however, that these errors only seem to be applied to conservatives. In McDonald’s case, Facebook did not say it was its system but was “independent fact checkers” who determined his photo to have been doctored.
Earlier, people had noticed that Google and artificial intelligence programs were preventing them from seeing information about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
Now Chris Constant is going to think his blueanon conspiracy theories about the shooting being staged are true.
Color me surprised that communists are anti free speech!!
Ah, the defenders of democracy are at it again.
They defend ‘democracy’ but not a Constitutional Republic. We’ve been snowed into believing the ruled by a majority propaganda.
