  • A morphed image of a TIME magazine cover showing Prime Minister Narendra Modi with a graphic of a dialogue box prompting the reader to ‘Delete Fascism’ with the options to ‘Cancel’ or ‘Delete’ is being shared on social media. However, we found that the image was morphed. We found the actual cover on the publication's website which shows Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on its cover, with the text ‘Delete Facebook’ across his face. The cover comes shortly after a former Facebook employee and whistleblower Frances Haugen went to federal agencies in the United States of America with internal documents, which showed that Facebook “prioritised profits over public safety”. WHAT WE FOUND OUT After observing the image carefully, we saw the date stamp showing ‘Oct 25/Nov 1, 2021’ and the titles and author names for two articles on the cover. The date stamp gave us a clue that the image may be derived from the TIME magazine’s upcoming issue. We looked up the TIME vault but the cover has not yet been updated there. However, we found a Facebook post on their verified page, which they posted on 7 October. Like the original cover, the edited image carried the cover articles titled 'Inside the Damage by Billy Perrigo' and 'Roger McNamee's Change Can't Wait'. The only difference between the text is that the edited version misspells Perrigo's last name as 'Perrico'. The cover articles discussed Facebook's internal policies and how they affect the platform's users and how, by not dissolving a team, Facebook could have handled its newest issue better. Neither of them have anything to do with PM Modi. Clearly, an image of Mark Zuckerberg on TIME magazine’s cover was morphed to replace him with PM Modi and add the words ‘Delete Fascism’ onto the graphic.
