CNN —Vanity Fair France has issued an apology after editing a photo of actor Guy Pearce, in which a Palestinian flag pin he wore is not visible.
The move, which was quickly called out on social media, has been labeled by some as an attempt at censorship.

An apology was also posted to social media on Sunday.
Following the Vanity Fair France controversy, Pearce reiterated his support for the Palestinian cause in a post on X, writing “Palestinians are being murdered as we speak.
