  Then FB goes on to claim they got Trump elected and likely the same thing will happen in 2020, so what’s the point?

  Editing the pictures is bad because that confuses people as they’re too stupid to realize the truth – but editing what the speaker is SAYING is perfectly a-ok!

    Editing the pictures to the truth does not extend to video. That is bad, because that confuses people, as what the speaker is SAYING is too stupid! But editing does not extend to perfectly a-ok video!

    FTFY. (Omitted three words.)

  The policy itself seems reasonable to prevent confusion, but I have this feeling that a lot of conservative parody videos that are not truly Deep Fakes, will fall victim to this new policy….

    Whats a deep fake? A political cartoon with a face from the media at 30 to 60 fps? Artwork using photography/a series of digital images at 30/60 fps? A created movie poster with placed in political art?
    The movie never had that political leader in it…. Fake.. and its gone with the account of the sinful creative person.

  Most social media seems to be willing to let Politicians, including Trump, to say whatever they want without any punishment.

  They can spread lies, falsehoods, etc. with no consequences.

  So the question is not if they will ban Russia from using Deep Fakes, but whether if the President of the US posts a Deep fake, will they punish him in ANY way.

    Considering Moscow Mitch and Benedict Arnold Graham have already said, before a trial has even begun in the Senate, the con artist is free to abuse his office and commit other crimes, I don’t think FB will have any say about punishment. Because if they do you can be sure the whiny Republicans will immediately jump up and down claiming their conservative lies are being censored.

  Just a really super naive question here maybe, but isn’t the point of a deep fake that it is REALLY hard to tell if what you are looking at is real or faked?
  If I post a video of a presidential candidate saying or doing something stupid, who gets to decide if that event really happened ? How do they know?
  I mean can you algorithmically filter for likely deep fakes?
