They flag certain images via the metadata contained inside it. That image has been used in the claim they are fact-checking, so it got flagged that way regardless of how you used it.
In this particular case, the weirdness actually was the algorithm.
Dude below me is right... you literally baited them into that whether you realize it or not and are now calling them out for something you could have seen coming from miles away simply by the way you worded the title and post content...
They must be using a reverse image search which results in an AI response. I bet if you posted the same picture with a different description that you'd get the same response.
It says "Minneapolis" right there. Besides, it's almost certainly an image recognition mechanism. This particular image is probably all over fagbook and this pops up whenever it's posted.
Out of curiosity, how did they claim to have disproven it?
Unsolicited premeditated Denial of someone being a federal agent, increases the likely probability that the picture contains a federal agent.
Except it is from Germany, May 18 and OP literally said the picture was from MN.
Neither of which have anything, apparently, to do with Facebook slapping its hidey-mabob on my shit. This is what I'm trying to draw attention to.
You said "Unrelated: Picture of MN 2020" and then posted this picture... so yeah. You claim in the title you never mentioned it.
I don't think FB should be posting their warnings at all but you did ask for it, bud. Sorry.
Read what was fact-checked, man. It says that the picture doesn't show an undercover federal agent. He didn't say shit about that.
Because people have been spreading the image claiming it was and he used the keyword and a picture. Do more than just read words.
Yep

What is their rationale for the check? Do they have proof he wasn't?

This is exactly whats happening. THey aren't reading the text, just "fact checking" the photo

Exact same pic posted on May 18 on Twitter, just a simple reverse search.
Your title says you didn’t mention Minneapolis but your post mentions Minneapolis. And the picture is from Germany, not Minneapolis.
Mark Cuckerburg and Jack both in panic mode
AP is Fake News....Jeez. NO end to the stupidity. (smh).
The only thing I can conclude from this is that somebody told Facebook to try to hide that there were in fact federal agents amongst the protesters
Wow. Weird
