Facebook censors meme critical of U.S. exchange of notorious Russian arms dealer for Brittney Griner: A Twitter user shared a screenshot of his Facebook censorship notice. He had shared a meme showing Mexican drug lord "El Chapo" standing in his cell, with text saying "El Chapo waiting on an American athlete to mess up in Mexico." This was a reference to the United States releasing notorious Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, also known as "The Merchant of Death," in exchange for WNBA player Brittney Griner. Facebook claimed this violated its rules, though the screenshot provided did not indicate which rule was violated. Facebook deleted the post.
