Facebook apologizes for fact-checking Trump assassination photo

Meta, the company behind Facebook, has apologized for removing a photo of former President Donald Trump shortly after he was shot in the ear at a Pennsylvania campaign rally earlier this month.

Shortly after some right-wing social media accounts complained that Facebook was preventing them from sharing a photo of Trump in the wake of the shooting, Facebook spokesperson Dani Lever took to Twitter to explain that the image should not have been censored.

"This was an error," Lever wrote.
