Facebook has apologized for mistakenly labeling an iconic photo of Donald Trump, taken after an assassination attempt, as "altered." The image, showing Trump with a raised fist and blood on his face, was incorrectly flagged by Facebook's algorithms. Meta's director of public affairs, Dani Lever, clarified that the error occurred due to the system detecting a doctored version of the image featuring smiling Secret Service agents. The original photo, captured by AP photographer Evan Vucci, was verified as authentic by fact-checkers. Facebook has corrected the mistake and expressed regret for any confusion caused.
