Former President Trump has accused Meta and Google of censoring information related to a recent assassination attempt on his life. He claimed that Meta’s AI labeled the event as “fictional,” Facebook banned a photo of him raising his fist after the attempt, and Google’s search bar failed to show relevant results.

Trump urged his supporters to challenge these tech giants, alleging deliberate attempts to suppress information. He criticized both companies on his platform, Truth Social, claiming they are trying to rig the election and encouraging a backlash against them.
Both Meta and Google have denied any bias, attributing the issues to errors. Meta admitted that incorrect fact-checks were applied to the photo and that AI misclassifications occurred. Google’s spokesperson clarified that there was no manual intervention in the search results and pledged improvements to their system.
