Meta Ends Its ‘Kyle Rittenhouse’ Search Ban on Social Media
Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook, has reversed a policy it implemented in August 2020, which blocked people from searching for Kyle Rittenhouse, the BBC reported.
Rittenhouse fatally shot two men and injured a third in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on August 25, 2020, amid civil unrest following the shooting of Jacob Blake.
Rittenhouse was characterised by some as a dangerous vigilante by some and as a hero by others, and Big Tech platforms including Facebook had to grapple with how to moderate discussion of the shooting.
