After it was reported that Kyle Rittenhouse shot 3 people, two of whom died, in Kenosha, WI during the 2020 BLM/Antifa riots, social media companies moved quickly. Facebook and Twitter made it clear that Rittenhouse was not allowed to be “praised” on their platforms.
Arguably, that stance may have made it harder for Rittenhouse’s defense, although he did ultimately receive an acquittal from a jury of his peers. Rittenhouse was (mostly) allowed to be talked about favorably and allowed to use Facebook and Twitter after he received the good news.
Many social media users still falsely call him a murderer despite the acquittal. Rittenhouse has asked Elon Musk amid the release of information about how the old Twitter censored conservatives, to unearth some information about him too.
He would probably like to know how social media companies treated him like he was guilty (in our opinion and that of many) before a jury decided that he acted in self defense based on a highly scrutinized trial and lots of video and evidence reviewed.
“Would you consider releasing the censoring done regarding my trial?”
We will see if Musk uncovers anything interesting. If he does, it is unlikely Facebook follows suit. Recently we reported how left-wing Twitter users were furious that Twitter suggested they follow Rittenhouse alongside Musk:
We will stay tuned to see if Musk responds.
We also asked Musk a similar question:
