Facebook users shared screenshots showing that when they posted the photograph, they were told they had shared an "altered photo."

"Independent fact-checkers reviewed a similar photo and said it was altered in a way that could mislead people," the message stated.

"Facebook determined your post has the same altered photo and added a notice to the post."

Users were also told that people who share false information might see their posts ranked lower in Facebook's feed "so other people are less likely to see them."

People took to social media platform X, a Facebook competitor, to complain about being warned despite sharing a legitimate photo without alteration.

Dani Lever, a Facebook spokeswoman, acknowledged in an X post that the photo was being wrongly censored.

"This was an error. This fact check was initially applied to a doctored photo showing the Secret Service agents smiling, and in some cases our systems incorrectly applied that fact check to the real photo," she wrote.

"This has been fixed and we apologize for the mistake."

Facebook and other Meta-owned properties use a third-party fact-checking network that enables the company to "take action and reduce the spread of problematic content across our apps," Meta says on its website.

Some conservatives said that the censorship should prompt lawmakers to question Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta.

"He needs to be dragged in front of Congress to answer for this," Chaya Raichik, who runs the Libs of TikTok account, wrote on the account.

The photograph in question, taken shortly after former President Trump was struck in the ear by a bullet in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, shows the former president raising a fist as he's surrounded closely by Secret Service agents. None of the agents are smiling.

Soon after it was taken, the former president was ushered into an armored vehicle and transported away from the scene.

Bullets fired by Thomas Crooks, 20, also hit three others, according to authorities. One of them, Corey Comperatore, was killed. The other two were treated at a hospital and later released.

Meta's artificial intelligence, meanwhile, has been telling some users that the assassination attempt was fictional, according to screenshots shared online.

"We know people have been seeing incomplete, inconsistent, or out of date information on this topic," a Meta spokesperson told news outlets in a statement. "We're in the process of implementing a fix to provide more up-to-date responses for inquiries, and it is possible people may continue to see inaccurate responses in the meantime."

Dramatards, today I'll tell you a bit about one of the most schizoid and polarizing figures in the recent history of Brazilian politics, Olavo de Carvalho (1947-2022)

Olavo Luiz Pimentel de Carvalho was born in Campinas, São Paulo in 1947. He was a "philosopher", writer, journ*list, professional politicuck, conspiracy theorist and astrologist and was considered as one of the "intellectual figures" of modern Brazilian conservatism.

In 1966, during the early stages of the Military Dictatorship in Brazil (1964-1985) he joined the Brazilian Communist Party , he left in 1968 and became a rightoid. In 1976 he entered a psychiatric hospital after a meltdown and in the late 70s he studied astrology at PUC (Pontificial Catholic University) in São Paulo.

He became famous for publishing rightoid books in the 90s like "O Jardim das Aflições" and "O mínimo que você precisa saber para não ser um idiota". He became a Youtuber and gain followers, in 2005 he moved to the United States because he couldn't stand Lula and died in his ranch in Virginia after getting Covid in 2022 (he was antivaxx)

He was one Bolsonaro's most trusted advisors and I remember him getting an interview on Globo (mainstream news and literally globohomo) by Pedro Bial.

Now, there are many who said "he's the Brazilian Alex Jones", but that comparison is flawed. Alex Jones is an r-slur, Olavo wasn't, he was a very intelligent and articulated man and you could tell that in his interviews, the thing is the guy was insane, like clinically mentally ill and he believed every single schizoid conspiracy he came up with.

I'm gonna detail the schizoness now, if you want to learn his general ideology I'm linking his wikipedia page in English along the "Garden of Afflictions" his "magnus opus", I think it was translated to English.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_Jardim_das_Afli%C3%A7%C3%B5es

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olavo_de_Carvalho

So, beyond the standard "Global Warming is a hoax" and "vax causes autism", Olavo went farther and claimed dinosaurs are a hoax !dinochads. And he also believed in the Geocentric model and actually criticized Galileo.

Here's a video of him denying the existence of fossils and claiming "fossil fuels" are not of fossil origin !ifrickinglovescience

I'm gonna translate for you guys, he curses a lot and that's a bit difficult to translate so i'll do it word by word on that.

>on fossils, I even remember the book by Georffrey of (didn't understand last name) "Mutation Point" he spoke horrors of fossil fuels, and he claimed that by the end of the 1990s fossil fuels would be abandoned (phased out), that there would be other sources of energy, I'm still waiting for it, it's been 20 years and it hasn't happened yet. It just happens that scientists found hydrocarbons on a galaxy which is on the whore who birth it! Where there were never any fossils nor dinosaurs frick! So, "fossil fuels" are the whore which birth it you get it? Fossil fuels are you mom's butthole, there are no fricking fossil fuels or anything like that, this is a farce, a clownshow

On the blacks he wrote this

1. Blacks have no rights to reparations as it represents an incompatibility and bias as blacks used to enslave arabs and jews when they were Pharaohs

2. Slavery was the fault of blacks for falling because of their decadent, degenerate and unstructured societies pushed by their animistic religions

3. blacks had no cultural contributions to western civilization, only material contributions due to slave labor, having no rights to claim anything from the white Western world

4. Black culture is inferior to western culture and judeochristian traditions, the greco-latin onthology and the Renaissance, which shows blacks won more than what they lost with colonization

!macacos !nooticers thoughts on this fellow?

@Aevann, @MAGAshill can this get pinned please?

"That statement is very simple, I said, 'Vote for me, you're not gonna have to do it ever again,'" Trump told Ingraham. "It's true, because we have to get the vote out. Christians are not known as a big voting group, they don't vote. And I'm explaining that to them. You never vote. This time, vote. I'll straighten out the country, you won't have to vote any more, I won't need your vote any more, you can go back to not voting."
