Instagram flags Liz Wheeler tweet about Ghislaine Maxwell trial: Conservative commentator Liz Wheeler shared a tweet about the Ghislaine Maxwell trial that said, "So Ghislaine Maxwell is on trial for sex trafficking for Jeffrey Epstein but media are banned from the courtroom, no live stream because of 'sensational' elements, the judge is an Obama appointee just promoted by Biden, & the prosecutor is James Comey's daughter. FISHY." Instagram added a fact check label to the post, claiming "Independent fact-checkers say this information has no basis in fact." The notice linked to fact check articles by AFP United States and Lead Stories. Fact-checked posts lose exposure on Facebook feeds as they are negatively affected by the platform's algorithm. According to Facebook, users fail to click through a fact-check interstitial to see the post 95% of the time.
