Instagram fact checks Jack Posobiec's 9/11 post: Instagram applied a missing context label to Jack Posobiec's 9/11 post, according to a purported screenshot. The post depicted an image of former President Donald Trump taken outside the NY Stock Exchange on September 18, 2001. The caption of the image said, "No one told him to go. He went anyway." Instagram claimed the post was "missing context." The platform linked to fact-check article by Lead Stories and Snopes.com. Fact-checked posts lose exposure and are negatively affected by the platform's algorithm. In a tweet about the incident, Posobiec said, "Understand IG/FB throws fact-checks on posts for the purpose of limiting reach. They don't want people to see this photo today."
