Facebook and Twitter slapped warning labels on altered Trump campaign video of Joe Biden

Published 26 mins ago on March 9, 2020
By Agence France-Presse

Facebook and Twitter both added tags denoting false or manipulated content to a video reposted by US President Donald Trump of his Democrat rival Joe Biden.

The edited video, which appeared to show Biden endorsing the president, was marked “partly false” by Facebook and “manipulated media” on Twitter.

The moves appear to break new ground for the social media platforms in dealing with the sensitive question of political disinformation.

Facebook, which has taken a hands-off policy on content from politicians, said this case merited fact-checking because it had been posted before the president shared it.
