Facebook's refusal to remove video of me is proof of Russian interference in election: Nancy Pelosi
FirstpostThe Facebook video of Nancy Pelosi was slowed and edited to make her speech seem slurred. US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Wednesday that Facebook Inc’s refusal to remove a heavily edited video that attempted to make her look incoherent had convinced her the company knowingly enabled Russian election interference. When something like Facebook says, ‘I know this is false … - it’s a lie - but we’re showing it anyway,’ well to me it says two things,” Pelosi said to applause at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. “It’s obvious that Facebook is hugely invested in ensuring that its platform won’t be misused to aid election interference.” The video of Pelosi was slowed to make her speech seem slurred and edited to make it appear she repeatedly stumbled over her words. President Donald Trump retweeted the video last week, writing: “PELOSI STAMMERS THROUGH NEWS CONFERENCE.” He later told a reporter the House speaker, who is 79, had “lost it.” The Washington Post reported last week that YouTube, which is owned by Google, responded by removing the video because it violated company policies on acceptable content.
