Election Interference by Google, Meta?

Encounter News was faced with a potential strike against one of our posts on Instagram which contained a picture of President Trump right after the assassination attempt on his life.

Fact checkers from biased “news” sources came out in force claiming one singular picture we had used had been “altered.”

It had not been altered.

Both USA TODAY, AFP United States, Correctiv, Colombiacheck and Les Observateurs de France, along with others, were all used as “third party face-checkers.”

The claimed “conclusion” by USA TODAY states that the photo was a “doctored image” which “shows smiling Secret Service agents around Trump amid shooting” whilst AFP United States claims “Photos of Trump, agents smiling amid assassination attempt are doctored.”

See the picture for yourself and see if any of the Secret Service agents presented were “smiling.”

Instagram is a part of the Meta family which is interesting seeing as not 10 days ago, Mark Zuckerburg, the CEO of Meta, came out stating that when President Trump stood up after the assassination attempt on his life, that this was one of the “most bada** things I’ve ever seen in my life.”

Contributing to the harsh reality these stats make 2023 the third year in a row to see increases in the perverse content being published online and consumed.

So why this desire to try and censor those merely posting a historic photo of the former President after an attempt on his life?

Is this election interference? Could be.

Meta’s AI system has also come out stating the Trump assassination attempt is a fictional event.

Fascinatingly, at the very same time, Google is also being accused of election interference for their omission of the assassination attempt on Trump from its autocomplete.

The Google home search engine no longer provides an autofill when a user types into the search bar the words “assassination attempt on.”

A spokesperson for Google claimed there was no “manual action taken on these predictions.”

Issuing a statement to the New York Post, the tech company said it had its autocomplete system calibrated to remove any suggestions “associated with political violence.”

“We’re working on improvements to ensure our systems are more up to date,” the statement continued.

“Of course, autocomplete is just a tool to help people save time, and they can still search for anything they want to. Following this terrible act, people turned to Google to find quality information – we connected them with helpful results, and will continue to do so.”

Senator Roger Marshall says an official inquiry into Google to address the matter has been made. “I look forward to their response,” said Marshall.

It has been well known for years that those who work at big tech companies like Meta and Google and several others make high donations to the Democrat Party.

The total contribution by Alphabet (Google’s parent company) was $21 million during the 2020 election cycle and the top recipient was Joe Biden, congressional candidates and Democrat super PACs.

This made Alphabet one of the largest corporate donors during that election cycle.

Nearly 80% of that $21 million went to Democrats, while a mere seven percent went to Republicans.

In addition to Google and Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and other popular companies in the tech sector also donated millions to candidates, but most predominantly, to Joe Biden and Democrat candidates.

The amount of censorship Trump and others are experiencing from those who so heartily donate to their opponents isn’t surprising but it is telling for those who seek transparency and accountability.
