Why is Meta labelling Trump’s Real mug shot as a fake?

When I posted Trump’s mug shot on Threads, I got a notification saying a “fact check” had been added to my post. The note appeared under my post and said “see context added to this post”. When you clicked on the post you’d see a message saying, “Fact Check: Trump ‘Mug Shot’ Is NOT Real — It Was Made Using AI” along with a link to a site called Lead Stories. The story was written April of 2023, a few months before the real mug shot of Trump was taken. It is unrelated to my post and includes a totally different image than the one I shared.
To confirm this is still happening, I just shared Trump’s mug shot on Facebook and immediately got a notification that the image is still being incorrectly labelled by Meta’s moderation system. The Facebook notification specifies that my “post includes a photo that independent fact-checkers say was altered.” Other folks have confirmed this too, and I encourage you to try sharing Trump’s mug shot photo to see if it’s still happening too.

HAS THERE EVER BEEN A TIME IN AMERICA'S HISTORY WHEN THERE WASN'T A BUNCH OF RICH PRICKS TRYING TO END THE CONSTITUTION AND TAKE OVER? “Gangsters of Capitalism”: Jonathan Katz on the Parallels Between Jan. 6 and 1934 Anti-FDR Coup Plot We speak to award-winning journalist Jonathan Katz about his new book “Gangsters of Capitalism: Smedley Butler, the Marines, and the Making and Breaking of America’s Empire.” The book follows the life of the Marines officer Smedley Butler and the trail of U.S. imperialism from Cuba and the Philippines to Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Panama. The book also describes an effort by banking and business leaders to topple Franklin D. Roosevelt’s government in 1934 in order to establish a fascist dictatorship. The plot was exposed by Butler, who famously declared, “War is a racket.” The far-right conspiracy to overthrow liberal democracy has historical parallels to the recent January 6 insurrection, says Katz. https://www.dem...

Eugenicists behind the U.S.’s forced sterilizations during the last century also wanted a border wall. "Most extreme white supremacists ever": Project 2025 contributors have a history of racism. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6736015/ “One of the things that you see when you read Project 2025 is not just the racist dog whistles, but some ideas that were exactly lifted from some of the most extreme white supremacists ever,” author and historian Michael Harriott told USA Today. Is this irony? "A Time for Choosing" election speech October 27, 1964. "You and I are told increasingly we have to choose between a left or right. Well I'd like to suggest there is no such thing as a left or right.
