Just two days before a doctored video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi generated millions of views on social media, Facebook Inc. announced internally it would explore the need for a new policy on manipulated media.
Facebook ultimately elected to leave the video showing Pelosi appear to slur her words on its website, labeling the video as false and adding a message noting there was more information available. A company spokeswoman said that it flagged the Pelosi video for its third-party fact checkers, who marked it as false, but declined to issue further comment Wednesday.
The presentation by staffers said that the company must tread carefully, because it could potentially limit its users’ creativity, satirical content, opinions and political speech. According to the presentation the company is also concerned that it could hurt Facebook’s reputation as an organization that does not determine what is true or false.
University of California-Irvine law professor David Kaye told MarketWatch late Wednesday that Facebook “clearly” needs some kind of policy to handle fake media, but such a policy will not be easy to define.
