Facebook apologises for having flagged Kenya’s President message as false
Facebook apologised to Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta after it mistakenly flagged as false his congratulatory message to the Ugandan President-elect Yoweri Museveni. Facebook admitted that the message was labelled as false because it had appeared in a different post that was labelled as misleading. The automated system incorrectly identified Kenyatta’s message as false because of the picture he posted with it.
