Excerpt From Facebook Reportedly Censored 9/11 Falling Man by Mistake, Not Biden Suicide Cancer Patient Gaffe
by Catherine Salgado
Radio host Andy Langer tweeted screenshots indicating that Facebook applied a filter to his post about the famous image of the falling man jumping out of the burning Twin Towers on 9/11. Facebook said that image violated its “Community Standards on content related to suicide,” per the screenshots.
“Like so many of you, every 9/11 since publication, I’ve shared @TomJunod’s The Falling Man- his unforgettable @esquire story of 9/11’s Unknown Solider- on @facebook. But not today. I respect the importance of the filter/safeguard, but disagree with its application here,” Langer wrote in his tweet.
