GROSS: Twitter Omits Alleged Ohio Rapist Was an ‘Illegal Immigrant’

Twitter’s suppression of key facts of a viral, reported rape incident in Ohio completely upends the platform’s claims that it protects against “misinformation.”

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reportedly confirmed to Fox News Digital July 13 that a person who allegedly raped a 10-year-old girl in Ohio, Gerson Fuentes, was a “Guatemalan illegal immigrant.” The girl reportedly later sought an abortion in another state.

But in Twitter’s “trending” page item on the story, the platform instead characterized Fuentes simply as a “Columbus man” charged for “allegedly impregnating a 10-year old girl,” leaving the “illegal immigrant” part out entirely.

The Twitter trend highlighted a July 14 Reuters article, which also happened to label Fuentes merely as an “Ohio man” and omitted that he was reportedly in the country illegally. Twitter self-professes that it tackles “misinformation” in part by “empower[ing] customers with credible context on important issues.” What a joke.

twitter works for the democrats. democrats tell it what to do, and wealthy democrats assure that twitter is well funded.

They are also investigating whether or not the perp is familial, meaning the mother & daughter are also likely illegals, but I’m not reading all the blather to confirm or deny, including whether the perp was cohabitating.

I’d like to know how Telemundo got the mother’s address. I’ve not seen that question asked by the media.
