Donald Trump is lashing out at Facebook and Google after Facebook admitted an image of the ex-president following the assassination attempt was mistakenly censored by the social media platform. 

‘Facebook has just admitted that it wrongly censored the Trump “attempted assassination photo,” and got caught,’ the Republican presidential nominee posted on social media on Tuesday. 

‘Same thing for Google,’ he claimed.  ‘They made it virtually impossible to find pictures or anything about this heinous act. Both are facing BIG BACKLASH OVER CENSORSHIP CLAIMS.’

The GOP nominee argued it was an attempt to rig the election and wrote in all caps urging his backers to ‘GO AFTER META AND GOOGLE.’

His post on Truth Social comes after a member of Facebook’s communications team admitted the image of Trump raising his fist in Butler, PA after the shooting was accidentally censored.  

‘This was an error,’ wrote Dani Lever on X in response to a post accusing Mark Zuckerberg of censorship.

‘This fact check was initially applied to a doctored photo showing the secret service agents smiling, and in some cases our systems incorrectly applied that fact check to the real photo,’ she continued.

Lever said the issue had been fixed, and Facebook apologized for the mistake.

Separately, internet uses on in the past few days have also raised questions about Google after searches of ‘Donald Trump’ brought up articles about his political opponent in the news results.

A search by DailyMail.com found Trump’s website, X and Facebook pages and images were immediately listed. 

But when it came to top stories, the first articles listed were ‘Harris • Donald Trump’ followed by other categories of Trump related articles. 

Some internet users claimed their searches only showed news that favored Harris over Trump.

DailyMail.com reached out to Google about how its news results are populated, but Google News come from eligible content found across the internet. 

Google states the goal is to connect uses with a broad array of perspectives and reporting.  It uses technology to sort content with algorithms it claims are designed to elevate news from experts and ‘authoritative sources.’

Trump’s allegations mark the latest in a series of accusation by conservatives who have been going after the tech giant accusing it of election interference dating all the way back to as far as 2008.

The GOP presidential nominee’s son Donald Trump Jr. also accused the Google of election interference over the weekend in a post on X.

He reposted a user who pointed out searching Google with the words ‘assassination attempt on’ showed auto population options for Reagan, Bob Marley, Teddy Roosevelt and others but did not have an auto population suggestion for Trump.

On Sunday, Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) also questioned why Google is ‘suppressing the search’ about the assassination attempt on the ex-president.

He announced he would be making an official inquiry into Google on the matter.
