Facebook restricts post saying Kyle Rittenhouse is a hero. Eighteen-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse was charged with first-degree murder after he killed two men and injured another in self-defense during one of the 2020 Antifa riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin. He was later acquitted on all counts. A user tweeted snapshots showing that Facebook had restricted his post to a group callled "Trump Train - Save America," which said in part: "Well it looks like we have a new American hero in Kyle Rittenhouse[.] He used his Constitutional right to defend himself and stood up to a crazy mob of burning, looting rioters bent on killing him and he defended himself!!!!" Facebook claimed the post violated its Community Standards on "dangerous individuals and organizations" and limited the viewership of the post to the user himself and to the administrators of the "Trump Train - Save America" group.
