Instagram Now Fact Checks Jeffrey Epstein Memes

The age of fact-checking hits new heights

Instagram Jeffrey Epstein Memes
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Instagram recently released a new fact-checker which corrects user’s posts–and memes–to comedic effect.

Fact-checkers haven’t enjoyed much positive publicity in recent months, with Snopes fact-checking outspokenly satirical site Babylon Bee and a blatantly doctored Greta Thurnberg meme also getting fact-checked, bringing disrepute onto fact-checkers.

Now, Instagram, a company that is owned by Facebook, fact-checked a Jeffrey Epstein meme which claimed that Hillary Clinton was responsible for cutting the high profile billionaire pedophile’s life short.

Covfefe Coffee

The meme was created by popular street artist and meme-maker, Lushsux, who is widely known on social media for artworks humorously satirizing politics and current affairs.

In spite of the meme’s clearly comical nature, the Instagram fact-checker still placed a warning on the post that read: “Independent Fact Checkers Say This Is False,” carrying a subtitle stating that the “primary claims in this information are factually inaccurate.”

According to Reclaim The Net, Instagram further doubled-down on the fact-check by displaying a message that read, “False: There’s no evidence Hillary Clinton killed Jeffrey Epstein. It runs counter to medical examiner and federal prosecutor conclusions.”

The meme in question said the following:

“I killed Saddam Hussein!” says Bush.

“I killed Osama Bin Laden!” Says Obama.

“I killed Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi!” says Trump.

“I killed Jeffrey Epstein!” says Clinton.

Many memes have emerged after the mass-denial of Jeffrey Epstein’s highly suspicious suicide.

Most famously has been the oft-repeated mantra wedged into various social media posts of “Epstein didn’t kill himself.”

Although the frequency with which Epstein-related memes are posted, a high-profile duct-taped banana artwork sold for $120,000 was replaced by a crude scrawling of “Epstein didn’t kill himself” in its place.

The little stunt led to the arrest of the makeshift artist–National File reports:

A Boston artist has been arrested after scrawling “Epstein didn’t kill himself” where a banana that sold for $120,000 was previously duct-taped.

Rod Webber, 46, of Boston, Massachussets, painted the phrase “Epstein didn’t kill himself” on the wall where a banana was previously duct-taped as a work of art.

The banana was hung up at the Art Basel gallery in Miami, an “art piece” created by Italian-born artist, Maurizio Cattelan, called “Comedian.” It was sold for $120,000, and then subsequently eaten in a “piece of performance art” by George Datuna.
