Twitter to label deepfakes, deceptive media leading up to 2020 US Presidential elections

Firstpost  

The company said it would remove any deliberately-misleading manipulated media likely to cause harm. The company also said it would remove any deliberately misleading manipulated media likely to cause harm, including content that could result in threats to physical safety, widespread civil unrest, voter suppression or privacy risks. Facebook Inc said last month it would remove deepfakes and some other manipulated videos from its websites, but would leave up satirical content, as well as videos edited “solely to omit or change the order of words.” The company sparked outrage among lawmakers when it said the new policy would not be applied to a heavily edited video that circulated widely online and attempted to make House of Representative Speaker Nancy Pelosi seem incoherent by slurring her speech. Facebook said it would label the video as false, but that it would continue to be allowed on the platform as “only videos generated by artificial intelligence to depict people saying fictional things will be taken down.” Twitter under its new policy will similarly apply a “false” warning label to any photos or videos that have been “significantly and deceptively altered or fabricated,” although it will not differentiate between the technologies used to manipulate a piece of media. The two executives declined to answer questions around the resources the company would put toward spotting manipulated media, saying Twitter would consider user reports and build relationships with “third party experts” to identify content.
