Instagram hid a photo Donald Trump Jr. posted because it contained 'partly false information'

Instagram has hidden a photo that Donald Trump Jr. posted on the platform after independent fact-checkers determined the information contained in it was "partly false."

The post claims Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer suggested President Donald Trump's ban on travel from China was part of his "war on immigrants."

But Schumer never made any such statement, and fact-checkers found that the source of the claim — a purported tweet from Schumer criticizing the ban as "premature" and a "war on immigrants" — was fabricated.

Trump Jr.'s post is still on Instagram but includes a warning saying the photo contains some false information. Users are given the option to review why the post was blurred out and view the post.
