Discussion: YouTube Is The Only Social Platform Taking Down Doctored Pelosi Videos

Time to flood the intertubes with doctored video making it look like Trump is dropping n-bombs and other racial and bigoted slurs.

“We remove things from Facebook that violate our Community Standards, and we don’t have a policy that stipulates that the information you post on Facebook must be true,” a company spokesperson said in a statement obtained by Politico.

I would much rather say this at this time:

This is what Trump does. There is more to come. If Trump has not been made to face what he has done, like any ordinary citizen, by this time next year. it would mean that our System of Justice–which is supposed to safeguard the rights of the innoncent–has been perverted to allow this man not only to escape punishment but to actually alter the political structure of this country in his favor, the result of which will certainly in turn result in the most corrupt election process in American history (assuming he allows us to have an election).

I am not a lawyer. I am a social scientist (historian) and I would ask those who take Trump lightly to ask themselves about their perception of the terms (a) Congressional Oversight (b) Career Professional Federal Law Enforcement

THEN: Early March 2019

NOW May 24, 2019

Most of us are now far more convinced that Trump is guilty, yet far more doubtful that incriminating items dealing with him will ever be seen.

I am parroting Laurence Tribe here: Trump must be Impeached as soon as possible.

There’s actually plenty of Trump video like that – and none of it requires ANY doctoring…

FB is full of crap. Somebody post doctored up viral videos of Mark Zuckerberg to make him look foolish… and let’s see how long they stay up.

broad generalization devoid logic or sound reasoning. Other than that, there is nothing wrong with what Facebook said.

Translation: “The Daily Caller folks we hired as part of our screening team threatened that they’d go on a propaganda rampage about Facebook censoring conservatives if we took down the video.”

"search results and watch next panels about Nancy Pelosi include videos from authoritative sources, usually at the top,”

Not the case last year though. There were so many doctored Pelosi videos on youtube that I even had trouble finding a normal one. Are they taking this one down specifically or will others also be removed if flagged?

I suggested the same in the other thread. There is the “we should be better than them” argument, but the sooner the public wakes up to what can be done now with AI computer-assisted audio and video editing, the better.

The real Deep Fakes haven’t even arrived yet, the ones that aren’t just tweaked clips, but completely made up with face and speech replacement. This one targeting Pelosi is nothing compared to what’s coming.

And that means the current Facebook and Twitter policies have to change. Saying you “don’t have a policy that stipulates that the information you post on Facebook must be true” is not sufficient to cover the manipulation of reality that can be done with this technology.

Will there be a message in the video’s place that says “This was a fake, deceptive video so it has been pulled” ?

Of course not…that’s the only thing that could help a little. The horse is already out of the barn…Or…the shit is out of the sewer…

The point is not that it’s fake FFS! It’s defamation!

It’s noice to know that Facebook’s ‘anything goes’ policy extends to this, as it does to dogfighting.

Hardly need a doctored video for that.

“Why do republicans keep using russian propaganda? It’s like they are addicted to crack! Drop the pipe republicans, America needs sanity.”

Zuckerberg is famous for taking the moral high ground

They’d just cheer his “authenticity”.

Make some video where he is mocking/trashing the GOPTalibornigan/Teaparty folks… and that might put a dent in his blind evangelical base.

That moral high ground includes having a policy that allows for dogfighting fanboy pages.

facebook is a pox on humanity

I “closed” my account that I had for like 3 months way back in like 2014, during the fall of 2016 I started receiving notifications about my account activity, appears someone decided to fire it back up for me, what little research I did suggested the reactivation assistance came from China, but really who the fuck knows, I’d misdirect someone if I did the same

facebook sucks

twitter should ban the dotard from posting anything that is not strictly policy-related as he has clearly violated TOS, by limiting it to policy discussion he still has access because twitter decided he is too important to ban despite TOS violations
