Big Tech is getting lazy.
Yesterday was National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day in the United States. And like every decent president, Donald Trump paid tribute to the fallen. But that didn't stop Instagram from slapping a nice big fact check on his post.
The warning has since been removed, but it read:
Joe Biden is the projected winner of the 2020 US Presidential Election. (Sources: Reuters/NEP/Edison, others)
You can see the post here and note that there isn't even a caption. It had nothing to do with election results.
It makes me wonder if they are just automatically applying these warnings to everything Trump posts now without even reading them anymore.
Honestly, we should start a betting pool. How many days do you think it will be after Inauguration Day before Trump gets banned from Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram entirely? I bet they do it the same week.
