Facebook says it will ban 'deepfakes' in fight against online manipulation, but the new rules won't include parody or satire, or clips edited just to change the order of words.
“While these videos are still rare on the internet, they present a significant challenge for our industry and society as their use increases,” the Facebook's vice president of global policy management, Monika Bickert, said in a blog post.
The U.S. tech company has been grappling with how to handle the rise of deepfakes after facing criticism last year for refusing to remove a doctored video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi slurring her words, which was viewed more than 3 million times. Experts said the crudely edited clip was more of a “cheap fake” than a deepfake.Then, a pair of artists posted fake footage of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg showing him gloating over his one-man domination of the world.
