Meta / Facebook is now reporting the photo of President Trump right after the assassination attempt as an “altered photo” & is blocking it from being viewed on their platforms. (twitter.com)

It really is amazing just how much they're trying to memoryhole the fronterunning presidential candidate getting shot in the head.

They won't let you share the picture, they act like the assassination attempt never happened at all, search engines don't offer autocomplete suggestions for it despite it being massively topical. Some AI even thinks it never happened at all.

If Elon didn’t buy twitter they’d probably have succeeded. They still might. Getting a little scary.

CNN showed up in-person to livestream that rally, the very first time they livestreamed anything directly from Trump rallies in 8 whole years, being too busy with rating Starbucks tiktoks or interviewing C-list actors for every single prior rally, they made history, first time ever CNN would cover a Trump rally live and un-pre-edited, for no reason at all, just luck and happenstance it would be the exact one he was targetted... And now the powers that be are trying to erase that the assassination, that the rally, even happened at all? They're erasing CNN's historic first!

Bit of related news, Trump's going to be hosting another rally in the same place.

So be awkward to try and pass it off as JUST another rally when all the locals are repeating stories of the assassination attempt.

Trump should have crushed Meta, twitter and google as soon as he went into office.

Independant fact-checkers

The silver-lining is this confirms "fact-checks" are and have always been bullshit

It's a key component of information laundering and in this case election interference. It's similar to how government agencies will create policies and cite "studies" which are simply made up by some NGO that supports the policies. Or the whole idea of "reliable sources" that wikipedia invented.

Manufacturing consent is critical in a Democracy™. Otherwise, the cattle might VOTE™ wrong, and we can't have that. Better outsource your thinking to Independent™, Fact-Checked™, Experts®.

My new favorite is Snopes debunking "very fine people" seven years after it happened - just so they could 'prebunk' Biden a week before the debate since they knew he'd say it.

It shows they were fine with their audience believing lies and that they were likely tipped off that Biden was on the outs.

Trump needs to make sure the antitrust breakup of Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Threads, etc.) and Alphabet (Google, youtube, Doubleclick, Nest, etc.) are at the top of his agenda for his first hundred days if he manages to win

>I'm gonna regoooolate!

Lol. Lmao, even.

I'd rather have a crippling economic depression flush these companies and their fake and gay valuations down the toilet than the perpetual hopium that the fucking government will break their own toys.

That and the removal of platform protections for places that abuse the requirements and act as publishers. You want to censor? Enjoy liability for the content you allow (and tacitly promote).

That would force them to either allow free speech or die.

  1. I can't say I blame them for thinking that it's been altered. That angle almost makes it look like the woman in front of him is doing something productive or helpful.
  2. Inb4 cropped, copyrighted material, AI produced or enhanced
